A statistics professor would like to build a model relating student scores on the first test to the scores on the second test. The test scores from a random sample of 21
students who have previously taken the course are given in the table.

Step 1 of 2 :  Using statistical software, estimate the parameters of the model

Second Test Grade=β0+β1(First Test Grade)+εi
.

Enter a negative estimate as a negative number in the regression model. Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

To estimate the parameters of the model \( \text{Second Test Grade} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 (\text{First Test Grade}) + \epsilon_i \), we would typically use **linear regression**. The two parameters we are estimating are:

1. \( \beta_0 \) (the intercept)
2. \( \beta_1 \) (the slope or coefficient for the first test grade)

The formula for the linear regression model is:

\[
Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X
\]

Where:
- \( Y \) represents the second test grade (dependent variable),
- \( X \) represents the first test grade (independent variable),
- \( \beta_0 \) is the intercept, and
- \( \beta_1 \) is the slope.

To perform this regression, statistical software would process the 21 students' data and compute these estimates.

Since I currently don't have access to statistical software, I can guide you through the process or help you compute these using any data or software tools you have available.

Would you like to proceed with using a statistical software tool (like Excel, R, or Python), or would you prefer I explain the steps and calculations involved?
