Finding the line of best fit is calledlinear regression. Correlationmeasures the strength of the relationship between two variables.
Suppose y = mx + b is the equation of the best-fit line. For each data point (xi, yi), you could calculate the predicted y-value, yi (yi-hat), by the line yi = mxi + b. ˆ ˆ
ˆ To have a good model, the yi on the best-fit line should be close to the yi of the original data for each xi.
Since the sum of the deviations will be zero, we will minimize the sum of the squared deviations.
n n ˆ (yi – yi)2 = (yi – mxi – b)2 SSE = i=1 i i=1 This method is called the method of least squares. Since the sum of the squared deviations represents the error between the line and actual data, SSE is used as an abbreviation for the sum of squares error.
n 2 x SS = ( x - ) x i i=1 n 2 SS = ( y - ) y y i i=1 n x y SS = ( x - )( y - ) xy i i i=1 You can also compute the sum of squared deviations for the x and y variables separately.
Using the method of least squares, the best - fit line SS xy y = mx + b has slope m = SS x and y - intercept b = y - m x . Theorem 9.6: Linear Regression

CorrelationA measure of the strength of the relation between two variables using the formula SSxy r = SSxSSy Definition
Definition Coefficient of determination The square of the correlation, r2.
The ranges for these measures are 0 r2 1 and -1 r 1. When all the data falls exactly on the least squares line, the model has no error and SSE = 0. This means that r2 = 1 (and r = 1 or -1). If the model does not help at all, and there is no reduction in error, then SSE = SSy, making r2 = 0 (and r = 0).
A correlation of 0 means the model is worthless, and a correlation of ±1 means that it is perfect.
SSxy r = SSxSSy 17 r = 28(13.43) EXAMPLE 2 Find the correlation between generation and population size for bacteria. ≈ 0.88
Since r > 0, the positive correlation tells us that the slope of the best-fit line is positive. Since r2 = 0.77, using the line provides a 77% reduction in error over using the average, the horizontal line.
