When the relationship between two or more independent variables needs to be tested, a common tool to use is a regression analysis. Take for example a study that shows the relationship between gaming and teen violence; or a study that shows a correlation between fast food eating habits and obesity. Describe 2-3 independent variables that you could test using a regression analysis. What types of results could the regression analysis yield? How could you use the knowledge gained from the test? Describe a specific organizational application of correlation and regression that you will use in your future career.
