Linear regression

Place the cursor in the input range control and then

use the mouse to select on the spreadsheet the data
you want to analyse. This should enter the appro-
priate cell reference in the control.

The slope (m) is the Xvariable 1 in our case it is

7.05714 x 10-05 . However if you look along the row
you will see 95% confidence limits on m- there is 0.95
probability that m lies between 5.85107E x 10 -05 and
8.26322E x 10-05 . The coefficient c in our equation of
straight line is 0.002496 with upper and lower 95%
confidence limits of0.00069and 0.00429.

Correlation coefficient

R= 0.9856. R representshow closely x variable and

y variable vary together .
Label in first row check box tells the tool to use the
labels in the top row of the data to label some of the Analysis of Variance for regression
statistical values. If you haven’t used labels leave
this unticked.
