It detects antibodies and antigens for HIV. A study in Statistical Science by J.

If a person is not infected with HIV, the test result is negative 92.6% of the time. According the the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 1.1 million Americans out of a population of 321 million were infected with HIV in 2015.

The data shown below are the initial weights and gains in weight (in grams) of female rats on a high protein diet from 24 to 84 days of age. The point of interest in these data is whether the gain in weight is related to (dependent on) the initial weight. If so, then feeding experiments on female rats can be made more precise by adjusting for differences in initial weights of the rats. Statistically test this with a regression analysis.
