The document discusses simple linear regression analysis. It provides definitions and formulas for simple linear regression, including that the regression equation is y = a + bx. An example is shown of using the stepwise method to determine if there is a significant relationship between number of absences (x) and grades (y) for students. The analysis finds a significant negative relationship, meaning more absences correlated with lower grades. Formulas are provided for calculating the slope, intercept, and testing significance of the regression model.
