what procedure will allow us to do a simple linear regression analysis (that we covered)? (simply put the proc name with nothing else. for instance, if the question asked which procedure allows us to print out a dataset, the answer would just be print.)

Final answer:

To perform simple linear regression analysis, use a calculator's regression function to calculate the least-squares regression line and correlation coefficient after making a scatter plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedure that will allow you to do a simple linear regression analysis is to use a calculator's regression function. To perform the analysis, you should first determine which variable is independent and which is dependent, then make a scatter plot of the data. Next, use the regression function to calculate the least-squares regression line, and then add that line to your scatter plot. You can also calculate and interpret the correlation coefficient to understand the strength of the relationship between the variables.
