What is the main focus of the lesson discussed in the video?

• The history of NBA players

• The relationship between height and weight of NBA players

• The rules of basketball

• They must be horizontal

• They must be curved

• They must be vertical

• They must pass through the first and last data points

Why was student 3's trend line not a good representation of the data?

• It had too many points above the line

• It was too steep

• It did not follow the overall trend

• It was too flat

What is the purpose of a trend line in a scatter plot?

• To connect all data points

• To split the data evenly above and below the line

• To be as steep as possible

• To pass through the first and last points

What does the slope of a trend line represent in the context of height and weight?

• The average weight of all players

• The change in weight for each inch increase in height

What does the y-intercept represent in the context of height and weight?

• The weight of a player with zero height

• The average height of all players

• The tallest player's height

• The heaviest player's weight

How can linear regression models be used in real-world scenarios?

• To predict future data points based on existing trends

• To find the average of all data points

• To connect all data points in a scatter plot

• To determine the maximum and minimum values in a dataset

Which trend line best represents the relationship between temperature and ice cream sales?

• A line that splits the data evenly but does not follow the trend

• A line that splits the data evenly and follows the trend

Why do ice cream sales increase as temperature increases?

• Ice cream melts faster in higher temperatures
