Please REpost with Data Clearly showing x and y values
\n" ); document.write( "For ex:
\n" ); document.write( "I. Generally, using data given and an Excel spreadsheet: a Scatter Plot/ showing trend line and R^2 is done
\n" ); document.write( "Here R is significantly different from zero as well as is the slope of the trend line, m = 2.57
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "c. the 95% confidence interval for the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "•Compute margin of error (ME): ME = critical value * standard error
\n" ); document.write( "Use Calculator or Excel to find the critical value(generally 1.96 for 95% confidence interval of a very large sample size)
\n" ); document.write( "|
\n" ); document.write( "standard error can be found using Data and in Excel: STEYX function
\n" ); document.write( "In this example, SE = 4.7
\n" ); document.write( "|
\n" ); document.write( "In this ex: n = 10 (Degree of Freedom (n-2)
\n" ); document.write( "critical value t = 2.3 Use Calculator or stattrek.com
\n" ); document.write( "ME = 2.57 ± (2.3)(4.7)
\n" ); document.write( "ME = 2.57 ± 10.81\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-8.24 < m < 13.31
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:
