Question

It is more desirable to find a linear model that contains​ several, but not​ all, data points than it is to find a linear model that does not contain any data points but comes close to all data points.

True/False

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

A linear model gives the linear relationship between the dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The relationship is linear if it assumes the equation of a straight line.

For precision and accuracy in the linear model that is developed, the model has to contain a lot of data points (observations). A model that does not contain any data points cannot be accurate and cannot give any reasonable predictions
