Why is it important to look at a scatter plot prior to starting a simple linear regression?
To see if there is a linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The relationship may not be linear but of a higher degree polynomial, exponential, logarithmic etc. In that case the variable(s) may need to be transformed before carrying out a regression.
It is also important to check that the data are homoscedastic, that is to say, the error (variance) remains the same across the values that the independent variable takes. If not, a transformation may be appropriate before starting a simple linear regression.

What is Full Regression?
Regression :The average Linear or Non linear relationship between Variables.
Why Simple linear regression is important?
It's important to learn this if you plan to go into research. Do well on your statistics class!
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of making forecasts using regression methods?
+ Linear regression is a simple statistical process and so is easy to carry out. + Some non-linear relationships can be converted to linear relationships using simple transformations. - The error structure may not be suitable for regression (independent, identically distributed). - The regression model used may not be appropriate or an important variable may have been omitted. - The residual error may be too large.

Is there any relation between regression and linear equation?
Yes.

How is linear regression used?
Linear regression can be used in statistics in order to create a model out a dependable scalar value and an explanatory variable. Linear regression has applications in finance, economics and environmental science.

Is a curved line on a scatter plot still considered linear?
No, it's not consider as a linear scatter plot, because, it's non-linear.
Is the line of best fit the same as linear regression?
Linear Regression is a method to generate a "Line of Best fit" yes you can use it, but it depends on the data as to accuracy, standard deviation, etc. there are other types of regression like polynomial regression.

Where ridge regression is used?
Ridge regression is used in linear regression to deal with multicollinearity. It reduces the MSE of the model in exchange for introducing some bias.
How you recognize your data are chaotic?
There is no simple way. A scatter plot may help if there are at most two variables but they are difficult to read with several variables.A low absolute value for a regression coefficient simply means that there is not a linear relationship: the data could follow a non-linear relationship perfectly, for example.
