There is an extra credit exam. Its active now on Classmarker until next Wednesday. Its 100 questions from the Prerecorded classes. You can earn 0.10 point on your final grade for each correct answer.

Step 2

Scroll through the list of Analysis Tools until you locate "Regression". Click on it to select it, and then click on the "OK" button at the right to open its dialog box.
Here is a quick video:
