Inferences about Linear Regression: Sample Statistics Confidence Interval for Slope, β1
This worksheet illustrates several inferential procedures you can perform after doing a regression on a sample of (x,y) data.
Instructions: Enter your data in columns A and B you can have up to 500 data points. The sample statistics will update
automatically in columns D and E. Then perform any of the four inferences in columns G through J. The values in black are
for you to fill in, and the ones in purple are the results.
