The dataset contains SAT scores of 12 students and their overall college GPA. We have to conduct a linear regression analysis based on the given data to check whether SAT scores can predict overall college GPA. So, here the SAT scores are independent variables ( x values ) and the overall college GPA is dependent variables ( y values ).
Now, the regression formula is -
y = a + bx , where y= dependent variables
x= independent variables
a and b are constants which we can calculate from the given data.
