(what is the effect size) Find the regression line that fits the data best. Best fit means: comes the closest to all the cases. The equation for a straight line is: y = a + b (x) Y stands for values of the dependent variable. X the independent variable: linneman, pp. Marks = a + b (days) using the equation of the regression line. Income (in sh) = 40 + 2 x hours. Predicted income = 40 + 2 x 0 = 40. Predicted income = 40 + 2 x 10 = 40 + 20 = 60. Predicted income = 40 + 2 x 30 = 40 + 60 = 100. Covariance: how two things change together (systematically, unrelated way).
