This video tutorial by Kirk Weiler covers linear regression using a calculator. It begins with an introduction to the lesson and available resources. The tutorial then guides viewers through setting up a calculator to enter data and create a scatterplot. It explains how to find the line of best fit and interpret the model's y-intercept and slope. An exercise on car weight and mileage is used to apply these concepts. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points.

What is the main topic of this lesson?

• Probability and Statistics

• Linear Regression on the Calculator
