Regression Analysis Techniques

The video tutorial revisits regression problems, focusing on data entry and analysis using calculators. It guides students through setting up data for scatter plots, understanding power regression, and using regression models to predict melting points. The tutorial also covers graphing techniques and analyzing data intersections for better insights.

What is the first step in solving a regression problem using a calculator?
