The concept of regression
Regression analysis is a statistical method for examining the relationships between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

To do that, regression analysis tries to formulate the relationship between the variables as much as possible by using a linear line which is called the regression line.
For example, the chart below shows the locations of the data points across the axes. Can we claim that there is a relationship between the variables?
