To find a linear regression, you must have a graphing calculator (Texas Instruments: TI-83/Plus, TI-84, etc.)
Step 1. Hit the STAT button.
Step 2. ClrList, to enter data, the lists must be clear.
Step 3. Hit the buttons 2nd, 1, comma(located above the 7) , 2nd, 2.
Step 4. Hit the STAT button again.
Step 5. Edit Now enter data into the L1 and L2.
Step 6. Now, hit the STAT button once more.
Step 7. Press the Right Arrow key in the corner. This will lead you to CALC.
Step 8. Now press the 4 on the keyboard (LinReg ax+b)
Step 9. Hit the buttons 2nd, 1, comma(located above the 7) , 2nd, 2.
Step 10. Press the enter button.
Your linear regression will be displayed on the screen as an ax+b (or mx+b) equation.

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.
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.
I want to develop a regression model for predicting YardsAllowed as a function of Takeaways, and I need to explain the statistical signifance of the model.
There are many possible reasons. Here are some of the more common ones: The underlying relationship is not be linear. The regression has very poor predictive power (coefficient of regression close to zero). The errors are not independent, identical, normally distributed. Outliers distorting regression. Calculation error.
One of the main reasons for doing so is to check that the assumptions of the errors being independent and identically distributed is true. If that is not the case then the simple linear regression is not an appropriate model.
