Simple linear regression results:


Dependent Variable: Grade (Marks)
Independent Variable: Absences
Grade (Marks) = 89.100971 - 3.1906331 Absences
Sample size: 30
R (correlation coefficient) = -0.93164951
R-sq = 0.86797081
Estimate of error standard deviation: 3.2600128

Parameter estimates:


Parameter Estimate Std. Err. Alternative DF T-Stat P-value
Intercept 89.100971 1.1464745 ≠ 0 28 77.717357 <0.0001
Slope -3.1906331 0.23516911 ≠ 0 28 -13.567399 <0.0001
