true

predictor variable

x variable (the independent variable)

In order to fit a regression line on an Excel scatterplot:

Marketing analysts study correlations between customer online purchases in order to develop new web advertising strategies 3. Human Resources experts study correlations between measures of employee performance in order to devise new job-training programs.
