Enter the number of hits for all 50 players into your calculator in your first list and enter the number of runs into your second list. Do a linear regression on the calculator of x, the number of hits, to y, the number of runs. Record your linear regression equation y1. (If you're not sure how to do this on your calculator, refer to the study guides for the tutorials for this practice assignment or your calculator's manual.) What is the regression equation in the form y = a + bx? Is the relationship between hits and runs positive or negative? (2 points) N Create a scatterplot, and plot y against x with the regression line (the equation should be stored in y1 and the function turned on). Sketch the satterplot and regression line here. (The sketch does not need to be perfect.) Does the relationship appear linear? Why or why not?

The data included with this assignment are hitting statistics for the top 25 home run hitters from both the National and American Leagues in Major League Baseball. The statistics included are the number of base hits, the number of runs, and the number of home runs each player had in the 1999 season as of 8/17/99. (Source: www.majorleaguebaseball.com) (In case you're rusty on your baseball terms, here are a few definitions: A base hit is a hit that gets the batter on a base. A run is any time a runner reaches home plate and scores, and a home run is hitting the ball and reaching home plate in the same play.)
