Linear Regression -ŷ = b0 + b1x

Linear regression is a fundamental statistical technique used to understand the relationship between two variables: the independent variable (X) and the dependent variable (Y). By fitting a linear equation to observed data, we can predict the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variable.

The linear regression equation is typically represented as:

ŷ = b0 + b1x
where,

ŷ => represents the predicted or estimated value of the dependent variable (Y).

b0 =>is the y-intercept, the constant value where the regression line crosses the y-axis.

b1 => is the slope of the regression line, quantifying the effect of the independent variable (X) on the dependent variable (Y).

x is the value of the independent variable for which we want to predict the corresponding dependent variable value.
