Please note: The significance of the regression model depends upon several statistical assumptions. We do not explicitly state these assumptions here. Please consult an appropriate reference (e.g., textbook, statistician) for a detailed explanation of these assumptions.
If the F-value output by the plotting routine is greater than the F-value listed in the table below, then the slope of the linear regression equation is considered to be statistically different from zero. If the F-value is less than than the F-value in the table below, then the slope of the linear regression equation is not considered to be statisitically different from zero.
