The easiest and most understandable way to explain this to me is we need to look at the old classic equation \[ Y=mx+b \] y=mx+b that nearly anyone reading this should be familiar with, in that equation we have a DETERMINISTIC relationship, it just means that no matter how many times you plug in a value for x into f it will always match the value of the outcome, conversely our Simple Linear Regression (SLR) which can be simply written as \[ Y=f(X)+ \varepsilon \] where instead of F(X) we have \[ Y=\beta_0+\beta_1X+ \varepsilon \] we now have a STOCHASTIC relationship, simply meaning the relationship is now “Random” where epsilon which represents our noise will no longer be a fixed variable. What is Beta0 and Beta1? They are our intercept coefficient and our NON-intercept coefficient, it is important to note that we have one predictor otherwise we are doing Multiple Linear Regression which would be written as \[ Y=\beta_0+\sum_{k=1}^p\beta_k X_k+ \varepsilon \] Our next slide will explain what it means to be an intercept coeff and non intercept coeff
