It's February, so I'm Trying to Find things to Post On. Therefore You're Going to Get Some Simple Regression Tests from the 2008 MLB Season.
The Major High Outlier: Texas with .283 Batting Average and 79 Wins
The Low Outlier: Oakland with a .242 Batting Average and 75 Wins
Formula: Average = 0.237917 + (0.000319) * Wins
ReFangled Formula: Wins = (Average + 0.237917) / (0.000319)
Fun Math Time
The ole average doesn't look like it is tightly correlated to wins and losses but anyway according to the ole formula if I want the Yankees to win 100 games what would their average need to be? .269, well that seems low. And say I think the A's will boost their average to .255 how many wins would that equal? 54.
