Okay, so here we had an x variable and a y variable, which the x was the percent change in stock market index in the first five days of the year, and the y was the percent change in the whole year.
00:21
Okay, and we're seeing if there's a correlation between the two of these.
00:26
So what we did was we put all of the x variables into one list.
00:33
Pull all the ys into another list, and then computed a linear regression.
00:38
The linear regression gives us a y intercept, which a lot of times is called a, and a slope.
00:48
Okay? the y intercept that it gave us was 12 .5918.
00:55
Okay, so that goes here.
00:59
And the slope that it gave us was negative 2 .1835.
01:03
So that goes here times x...
