In 2012, the total payroll for the New york Yankees was almost 200million, while the total payroll for the Oakland Athletics (a team known for using basball analytics or sabermetrics) was about 55million, less than one-third of the Yankees payroll. In the following table, you will see the payrolls (in millions) and the total number of victories for the baseball teams in the American League in the 2012 season. Develop a regression model to predict the total number of victories based on the payroll. Use the model to predict the number of victories for a team with a payroll of $79million. Based on the results of the computer output, discuss the relationship between payroll and victories.
