About this lesson
This video, forming part of the Year 11 General Mathematics course, looks at how we can fit a model to some data. Using the CAS we can find the least squares regression line and pearsons correlation coefficient to help us predict values we might have. I look at how to use the CAS effectively to find the equation of the least squares regression line. I look at best practice and fully explain both the how and the why. The explanation is easy to understand.
