The given reports the P value testing the null hypothesis that the overall slope is zero,
the best fit value of the slope is 0.00. The P value answers the question: If the true slope is zero, what is the chance that the slope will be further from zero than the observed slope due only to random sampling. Since the observed slope is zero, there is almost a 100% chance of obtaining a slope that is further than zero than observed! So the P value is greater than 0.99, as high as a P value can be. Some people are confused and think the P value should be small purely because the points for a pattern. Not so. The P value, from conventional linear regression fitting both slope and intercept, will be small only when the points form a linear pattern that is not horizontal.

To make the line go through the origin and also go near the points, the best-fit line has a slope is far from zero. Since the line is far from horizontal, the P value is tiny. Given the constraint that the line must go through the origin (X=0, Y=0; lower-left of graph), the data are quite convincing that best fit line is far from horizontal, so it makes sense that the P value is tiny.
Constraining a line to go through the origin (or some other point) can be very useful in some situations. Usually this option is used to fit calibration curves used for interpolation, in which case the P value is not useful. If you force the line through the origin, be very wary when interpreting the P value. It is rarely useful, and easy to misinterpret.

How to Analyze the Regression Analysis Output from Excel In a simple regression model, we determine if variable Y is linearly dependent on variable X, meaning that whenever X changes, Y also changes linearly. A linear relationship is a straight line relationship, expressed as Y = α + βX + e. Here, Y is the dependent variable, and X is the independent variable.
closer the line of best fit is to 1; the more evidence there is to
Within the last decade Apple has become one of the largest growing companies in the world and the largest valued company in the United States. According to a recent article in The Guardian, a global financial news website, “Apple set a record by becoming the first company to be valued at over $700bn (£446bn).” (Fletcher, N. 2014) This comes as no surprise to the average computer aficionado and shareholder as Apple has been making a name for itself since its inception. From its earliest Macintosh models to today’s iPhones, Apple has been a trailblazer for software, technology and revolutionizing the way we communicate on a Macro level. Their dedication to innovation, quality and service has made them
Our predicted points for our data are, (13, -88.57) and (-2, -29.84). These points show the
In this lab we apply the technique known as a two point discrimination test. This test will allow us to determine which regions of the skin are best able to discriminate between two simultaneous sensory impulses. According to (Haggard et al. 2007), tactile discrimination depends on the size of the receptive fields located on the somatosensory neurons. However receptive fields for other types of sensations are located elsewhere. For vision we find that the receptive fields are located inside the visual cortex, and for hearing we find receptive fields in the auditory cortex. The ability for the body to discriminate two points depends on how well that area of the body is innervated with neurons; and thus conferring to the size of the receptive fields (Haggard et al. 2007). It is important to note that the size of the receptive field generally decreases in correlation to higher innervations. As was seen in the retinal receptive fields, the peripheries of tissue had contained larger receptive fields (Hartline, 1940). In our test we hypothesized that the finger region will be able to discriminate better than the forearm. This means that they will be much more innervated with neurons than the forearm, and likewise contain smaller receptive fields. This also means that convergence is closer to a 1:1 ratio, and is less the case the farther from the fingers we go. We also think that the amount of convergence is varied with each individual. We will test to see if two people will have different interpretations of these results.
Does Descartes give any good reason for saying that his mind could exist without his body?
Scatter plots are similar to line graphs in that they both use horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points. The closer the data aims to making a straight line, the higher the correlation between the two variables, or the stronger the relationship(MSTE,n.d) The scatter plot above does not have a straight line formation, so that showing that there is not a strong relationship between the two variables of GPA and final.

From the graphs, it could be determined that the results are fairly precise due to the data points being fairly close rather than scattered. This can be seen as all the points are relatively close to the average value on graphs 1 and 2, not causing the trend line to be skewed.
A titration curve is a plot of pH of the analyte solution versus volume of titrant added, as the titration progresses. 9,12 The equivalence point is the inflection point of a titration curve.9
Simple linear regression is a model with a single regressor x that has a relationship with a response y that is a straight line. This simple linear regression model can be expressed as
