95% confidence: \(z^*=1.96\)

- \(r=1\): perfect positive correlation
- \(r=-1\): perfect negative correlation
- \(r=0\): no correlation






- S: standard deviation of residuals
- R-sq: how much of varience in dep. var can be explained by indp. var

SE: estimate of standard deviation of the random var. that is slope.
