REPORTING THE RESULTS

Use a graph to report the results of a univariate regression only if one of the following is true:

1. The relationship is not a straight line
2. You also wish to depict the confidence limits

Confidence limits should not be parallel; rather, they will appear hyperbolic around a regression line, reflecting the greater uncertainty at the extremes of the distribution.
