Linear Regression & Best Line Analysis Linear regression is used to make predictions about a single value. Linear regression involves discovering the equation for a line that most nearly fits the given data. That linear equation is then used to predict values for the data. A popular method of using the Linear Regression is to construct Linear Regression Channel lines. Developed by Gilbert Raff‚ the channel is constructed by plotting two parallel‚ middle lines above and below a Linear Regression

Problem 12)‚ 28‚ 30. Please use Excel solver function. I posted an annotated solution to Problem 2-5. This problem is an examplar for both the chapter 2 and 3 problems. In this example I show how I typically set up a problem. First I set up the linear programming model and then develop a parallel set-up to use as input to the Solver add-in. I use this strategy because I first like to set up the problem solution before I worry about setting up the parameters for using Solver. 24. Universal Claims

Taylor Gray 1/31/11 POW 6: linear nim For this game of Linear Nim you draw 10 line marks on a piece of paper and two players take turns crossing off only 1‚ 2‚ or 3 marks per turn. The person who crosses off the last mark is the winner. Firstly what I did was play a few games with my Mom and what I realized right away was that if you stopped just before the last four dashes in the game then you would always win. Since you aren’t always guaranteed of being the one who can put these dashes on
