It might be expected that baseball teams with better batting averages also score more homeruns. Let's examine that thought. The regression table below, produced by Excel's Analysis ToolPak, shows the result of a regression analysis using Major League Baseball data from the 2007 season. The independent variable (X) is team batting average and the dependent variable (Y) is homeruns per game.
