MAT-1550: Module 2 Project Assignment Linear Regression: Finding a "best-fit" line to model a set of data Overview When we fit a linear equation to a set of real-world observational data to create a mathematical model, the equation is never a perfect match to the data (not like it is in a math textbook!). We hope that it is "close enough" so that the equation can be used in a predictive way to estimate future results. In this assignment, you will use a set of real observational data that is relevant to the arguments surrounding global climate change. You will then use the Desmos online graphing calculator to plot the data and to find the equation of the line that best fits or represents the data as a mathematical model. Finally, you will assess how well the line represents the data using the concept of correlation
