  • As illustrated in the movie Moneyball, understanding the power of statistical analysis can be rewarding. Using a formula from the movie, we will learn how to make predictions, calculate residuals, and develop the concept of least squares. We will also use activities to explore regression to the mean and least-squares regression lines.
