Computer regression output

Computer regression output is the table software prints for a fitted line, listing each coefficient with its standard error plus summaries such as s and R-Sq.

Read the table in two parts. The Predictor column names the rows, with Constant carrying the y-intercept and the explanatory variable carrying the slope, both in the Coef column, while SE Coef, T, and P give the standard error and the slope test for that row. Below the table, s is the standard deviation of the residuals and R-Sq is r2r^2, so you recover the correlation as r=±R-Sqr = \pm\sqrt{\text{R-Sq}} and take the sign from the slope: R-Sq of 81.0% with a slope of 1.4-1.4 gives r=0.9r = -0.9. The T and P columns belong to inference for regression slopes, which the AP Statistics course effective Fall 2026 no longer tests. The whole table is textbook and college material; the Fall 2026 AP course gets aa, bb, rr, and r2r^2 from technology instead.
