Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers linear regression and extrapolation for AP Statistics. It explains the least squares regression line (LSRL), its equation (ลท = a + bx), and how to calculate it. It also discusses the risks of extrapolation, using the LSRL to predict outside the data range, and emphasizes interpreting results in context. Practice problems and exam tips are included.

Question 1 of 9

What does the least squares regression line (LSRL) minimize? ๐Ÿค”

The sum of the actual y-values

The sum of the predicted y-values

The sum of the squared differences between actual and predicted y-values

The difference between the slope and the y-intercept
