Expert Solution
Step 1: Linear Regression Analysis and R-square

In linear regression analysis, we examine whether one variable (called independent variable) can be used to predict the value of another variable (called dependent variable) accurately or not. y = mx +c (the straight line equation) is the simplest linear regression equation, where y is our dependent variable and x is our independent variable.

The analysis generates an R2 value. An R2 of 1.0 means the independent variable can accurately predict the value of the dependent variable.
