Variables Used:

 

B

Regression coefficient (y–intercept of a straight line); also

 

used for scratch.

M

Regression coefficient (slope of a straight line).

R

Correlation coefficient; also used for scratch.

X

The x–value of a data pair when entering data; the

 

ˆ

 

hypothetical x when projecting yˆ; or x (x–estimate)

 

when given a hypothetical y.

Y

The y–value of a data pair when entering data; the

 

ˆ

 

hypothetical y when projecting x; or yˆ (y–estimate)

 

when given a hypothetical x.

Example 1:

Fit a straight line to the data below. Make an intentional error when keying in the third data pair and correct it with the undo routine. Also, estimate y for an x value of 37. Estimate x for a y value of 101.
