Abstract
The objective of simple linear regression is to explain the effect of a variable X on a variable Y and what happens to variable Y when the variable X changes or is changed. For example, we might ask whether marketing expenses have an impact on business growth and what happens when we increase or decrease expenses. But we could also try to find out which factors have an impact on the performance of football teams or which European football club is likely to win the Champions League.
