Ireland wants to see the relationship between the number of number of movies actors have been in (x) and their net worth in millions (y) She finds that the equation is y = .32x + 0.05 and the R2 =.18.
What does the slope mean (be careful - this is a regression)
What is the difference between the slope of a line and a regression line?
One is an estimate

Strong Positive
this signifies a score below the mean
What is a negative z-score

What are chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
This is a way of estimating the 'average' error in a prediction from a regression line
What is RMSE?
True of false. Based on the residual plot below, The prediction errors generally decrease as the x value decreases.
False.

What is standard deviation?
He was the skipper of PT 109 during World War II.
Who is John F. Kennedy
What are residuals?
Tom says that for a regression line to be useful to make predictions, you need the RMSE to be under 50.
Kayla disagrees and says it is fine as long as the RMSE is below 100.
Who do you agree with, and why?
Neither, it depends on the context, units and scale.
