2. The process of using a linear equation to make predictions about values
that are beyond the range of the data is called linear regression.
SOLUTION:  
The statement is false. The process of using a linear equation to make
predictions about values that are beyond the range of the data is called
linear extrapolation. Linear regression is an algorithm to find a precise
line of fit for a set of data. 
ANSWER:  
false, linear extrapolation

Linear Regression
A linear regression is also know as the "line of best fit".

c.) Decide whether the new equation is a "good fit" to represent this data.
Step 5. Is this model a "good fit"?


The correlation coefficient, r, is .9336055153 which places the correlation into the "strong" category. (0.8 or greater is a "strong" correlation)
The coefficient of determination, r 2, is .8716192582 which means that 87% of the total variation in y can be explained by the relationship between x and y. The other 13% remains unexplained.
Yes, it is a "good fit".
