What effect does the circled point have on the slope and y-intercept of the least-squares regression line? O This point will increase the value of the slope and increase the value of the y-intercept. O This point will increase the value of the slope and decrease the value of the y-intercept. O This point will decrease the value of the slope and increase the value of the y-intercept. O This point will decrease the value of the slope and decrease the value of the y-intercept.
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.

![What effect does the circled point have on the slope
A guidance counselor wants to determine if there is a
relationship between a student's number of absences,
X, and their grade point average (GPA), y. The data
that were collected are displayed in the scatterplot
and the least-squares regression line was calculated.
One student with 2 absences has a GPA of 1.8. This
point is circled on the graph.
and y-intercept of the least-squares regression line?
O This point will increase the value of the slope and
increase the value of the y-intercept.
O This point will increase the value of the slope and
decrease the value of the y-intercept.
This point will decrease the value of the slope and
increase the value of the y-intercept.
GPA and Absences
This point will decrease the value of the slope and
decrease the value of the y-intercept.
