Mth302 Quiz 3

The document discusses key concepts in statistics including correlation, linear regression, measures of central tendency, and properties of regression lines. Specifically: 1) A linear correlation indicates that points in a scatter plot lie near a straight line. 2) Linear regression finds the best-fit line that minimizes the error between observed and estimated points, allowing estimation of dependent variable Y values from independent variable X values. 3) Measures of central tendency include the mode, median, and mean, with the mode referring to the most frequent value and median referring to the middle value.
