Question

We wish to predict the salary for baseball players (y) using the variables RBI (x1) and HR (x2), then we use a regression equation of the form  yˆ=b0+b1x1+b2x2

  • HR - Home runs - hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error.
  • RBI - Run batted in - number of runners who scored due to a batters's action, except when batter grounded into double play or reached on an error
  • Salary is in millions of dollars.
The following is a chart of baseball players' salaries and statistics from 2016.
