- On a spreadsheet, perform a linear
regression analysis (i.e. draw a best-fit line). Comment on the sign and the strength of thecorrelation coefficient . Use one sentence to explain its meaning using the variables in this particular context.
The sign of the correlation coefficient is negative at -0.7963
the correlation coefficient value show that the two values are strongly correlated if there are more absences then the student will not learn the coarse perfectly and this will result in a bad mark (when one variable increases the other decreases.
b) How do we know if this model is a good fit to the data? Then, assuming the model is good enough, Bob has a midterm mark of _____ (pick a two-digit integer). How many Bob’s absences does the model predict?
