how to find y hat

plug in x to l-s regression line

entire group of individuals we want info about

population

how to identify causation

put x in L1and y in L2. make scatterplot. make L3 log(l2). go to2nd "y="(stat pbt) and make y list L3 and graph. then make L4 log(L1). on 2nd "y=", make x L4 and y L3. if this makes a straighter line, it's power. if so do stat-calc-pwrreg then put in y= equation into "y=" and then to 2nd "y=" and make them L1 and L2 again then graph.
