Fit a straight line to the five data points in the accompanying table. Give the estimates of $\beta_{0}$ and $\beta_{1}$. Plot the points and sketch the fitted line as a check on the calculations. $$\begin{array}{c|ccccc}y & 3.0 & 2.0 & 1.0 & 1.0 & 0.5 \\\hline x & -2.0 & -1.0 & 0.0 & 1.0 & 2.0\end{array}$$

Key Concepts

Regression Coefficients

These are the numerical values, typically denoted as the slope (?1) and the intercept (?0), that define the linear relationship between the independent and dependent variables in a regression model. The slope indicates the change in the response per unit change in the predictor, while the intercept represents the expected value of the response when the predictor is zero.

Data Visualization and Model Checking

Plotting the data points along with the fitted regression line serves as a useful diagnostic tool. It allows one to visually assess the goodness-of-fit of the model, check for any patterns in the residuals, and ensure that the linear model is appropriate for the data.

Simple Linear Regression

This is a statistical method used to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. It involves finding the best fitting straight line that describes how the dependent variable changes as the independent variable varies.

Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Estimation

OLS is a common method for estimating the parameters in a linear regression model. It works by minimizing the sum of the squared differences between the observed responses and the responses predicted by the linear model, thereby providing estimates for the slope and intercept.
