The regression formula is:
Y = B
0 + B
1X or: Dependent variable = constant + B
1independent variable
B
1= for each change of the independent variable (X), it will increase or decrease the dependent variable (Y)
Rule of thumb:
T > 2 significant slope
T < 2 not significant slope
Hypothesis:
Ho: B
0 = 0 there is no relationship
Ha: B
0 =/= there is a relationship
R square (R
2) = explains the % of dependent variable Y, is explained by the variability of the variable independent X
