In your response posts, you will discuss the results and whether or not the results show a strong correlation or not. Discuss the value of R and what it means? What is ideal? Is this a good fit? Also, give examples in the real world where linear regression would make sense? When is a linear model the ideal model? In these cases what would you expect the value of R to be?
