  • Regression Line
    A straight line summarizing the relationship between two quantitative variables in a dataset.
  • Slope
    A value indicating the direction and strength of the linear relationship between two variables.
  • Population Regression Line
    A theoretical line representing the true linear relationship between variables for an entire population.
  • Linear Correlation
    A statistical association where changes in one variable predict proportional changes in another.
  • Null Hypothesis
    An assumption stating there is no linear relationship between the studied variables, often represented by a zero slope.
  • Alternative Hypothesis
    A claim suggesting a linear relationship exists, indicated by a nonzero slope in the regression line.
  • Alpha
    A threshold probability, commonly set at 0.05, used to determine statistical significance in hypothesis testing.
  • P-value
    A calculated probability measuring the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis in statistical tests.
  • Confidence Interval
    A range of values estimated from data, within which the true slope is likely to fall with a specified probability.
  • LinRegTTest
    A TI-84 calculator function used to perform hypothesis tests for the slope of a regression line.
  • LinRegTInt
    A TI-84 calculator function used to compute confidence intervals for the slope of a regression line.
  • Beta
    A parameter representing the slope of the population regression line, central to testing linear relationships.
  • Confidence Level
    A percentage indicating how certain one is that the confidence interval contains the true slope.
  • Frequency
    A setting in statistical software specifying how often each data point occurs, typically set to one for unique entries.
  • Test Menu
    A section in the TI-84 calculator interface where statistical tests and interval calculations are selected.
