Suppose you have two variables X and Y, and a set of paired values for them.
You can draw a line in the xy-plane: say y = ax + b. For each point, the residual is defined as the observed value y minus the fitted value: that is, the vertical distance between the observed and expected values.
The least squares regression line is the line which minimises the sum of the squares of all the residuals.
Many polygons, such as squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, etc. have more than 1 pairs of parallel line segments. Trapezoids have only 1 pair of parallel line segments. These few shapes are just quadrilaterals, other polygons also have more than 1 pair of parallel line segments (e.g. regularhexagons, octagons, etc.). Triangles never have any parallel line segments.
The simple answer is no, not all parallelograms have at least one right angle. However, there are some that do. Rectangles and squares are 'special' parallelograms that all have at least one right angle.
Draw a rectangle with length twice its width, you would have used 4 lines already. Then draw a straight line at the center. The result will be two identical squares.
There are 48 such squares.
No.
It is often called the "Least Squares" line.
No, it is not resistant.It can be pulled toward influential points.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it does exist.
the negative sign on correlation just means that the slope of the Least Squares Regression Line is negative.
There are two regression lines if there are two variables - one line for the regression of the first variable on the second and another line for the regression of the second variable on the first. If there are n variables you can have n*(n-1) regression lines. With the least squares method, the first of two line focuses on the vertical distance between the points and the regression line whereas the second focuses on the horizontal distances.
If the regression sum of squares is the explained sum of squares. That is, the sum of squares generated by the regression line. Then you would want the regression sum of squares to be as big as possible since, then the regression line would explain the dispersion of the data well. Alternatively, use the R^2 ratio, which is the ratio of the explained sum of squares to the total sum of squares. (which ranges from 0 to 1) and hence a large number (0.9) would be preferred to (0.2).
Least squares regression is one of several statistical techniques that could be applied.
The graph and accompanying table shown here display 12 observations of a pair of variables (x, y).The variables x and y are positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.97.What is the slope, b, of the least squares regression line, y = a + bx, for these data? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.2.04 - 2.05

If you plot data points on a graph the rarely will form a straight line. Least squares is a method of finding a line 'close' to all the data points instead of just guessing and drawing a line that looks good. If you have a line, then there is an algebraic formula to find the distance from each point to that line. Then using statistics, you can make the statistically averaged distance from each data point as close as possible to a line. The distances are squared, averaged, and the average of those squared distances may be used to find the regression line.
The equation of the regression line is calculated so as to minimise the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the observations and the line. The regression line represents the relationship between the variables if (and only if) that relationship is linear. The equation of this line ensures that the overall discrepancy between the actual observations and the predictions from the regression are minimised and, in that respect, the line is the best that can be fitted to the data set. Other criteria for measuring the overall discrepancy will result in different lines of best fit.
