Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Regression Tests. Regression tests determine cause-and-effect relationships. They can be used to estimate the effect of one or more continuous variables on another variable. Simple linear regression is a type of test that describes the relationship between a dependent and an independent variable using a straight line.
