Search on the Internet for a real example of a research question where Regression analysis has been used.

Use the following key words: "ocean pollution + stats + regression". Find a figure that is interesting to you, visit the corresponding website and read carefully the description of the data.

Present the scatter plot associated with the data. Make sure that the data labels are big enough to be easily read on the discussion board, if they are not, fix them in Power Point.

Clearly describe the independent and the dependent variables, including reasoning why are they study to monitor ocean pollution?

Explain the correlation coefficient between the independent variable and the dependent variable. If the actual coefficient of correlation is not presented, use a good estimation.

Calculate the coefficient of determination and discuss how it is valuable in determining the effectiveness of the regression model.

Describe the characteristics of the independent variable and its likelihood of explaining the variations of the dependent variable
