Get outta my
way!
Prediction Equations:
Y = a + bx (Linear or 1st order model)
Y = a + bx + cx2 (Quadratic or 2nd order model)
Y = a + bx + cx2 + dx3 (Cubic or 3rd order model)
Y = a (bx) (Exponential)

Simple versus Multiple Regression
Simple Regression:
– One X, One Y
– Analyze in MINITABTM using
• Stat>Regression>Fitted Line Plot or
• Stat>Regression>Regression
Multiple Regression:
– Two or More X’s, One Y
– Analyze in MINITABTM using:

The solution:
Payton yards = - 163.497 + 4.91622(250) = 1,065.6
~1067 yds
Quadratic and Cubic – Check the r2 value against the linear model
to determine if the difference between the variance explained by
our equation is significant.
