, where t follows
the Student’s t distribution with
ν = n – 2, degrees of freedom, and n
represents the number of points in the sample. The test is carried out as
that of a mean value hypothesis testing, i.e., given the level of
significance,
α, determine the critical value of t, t
α

Procedure for inference statistics for linear regression using the
calculator
1) Enter (x,y) as columns of data in the statistical matrix
ΣDAT.
2) Produce a scatterplot for the appropriate columns of
ΣDAT, and use
appropriate H- and V-VIEWS to check linear trend.
3) Use
‚Ù˜˜@@@OK@@@, to fit straight line, and get a, b, s
xy
(Covariance), and r
xy
(Correlation).
4) Use
‚Ù˜@@@OK@@@, to obtain x, y, s
x
, s
y
. Column 1 will show the
statistics for x while column 2 will show the statistics for y.

6) For either confidence intervals or two-tailed tests, obtain t
α
/2
, with (1-
α)100% confidence, from t-distribution with ν = n -2.
7) For one- or two-tailed tests, find the value of t using the appropriate
equation for either
Α or Β. Reject the null hypothesis if
P-value
<
α.
8) For confidence intervals use the appropriate formulas as shown above.
