The regression curve of Y on x is defined as Y = Α + Β⋅x + ε. If we have a set
of n data points (x
i

i
), then we can write Y

= Α + Β⋅x

where Y

= independent, normally distributed random variables with mean
(Α + Β⋅x

= independent, normally distributed
random variables with mean zero and the common variance σ
