Creating a Linear Regression Model
The TI-83, TI-83 Plus, and the TI-84 Plus calculators have the function LinReg on the STAT
page in the CALC list and will compute a simple linear regression model. Note there are two
forms, one that writes the equation as ax+b and the other that writes the equation as a+bx. We
will use the latter form. We will also use the English and Math scores from the previous
example that are stored in lists L1 and L2.
