R squared


Doug, and others-
 
The R squared value of my equation is .9062.  Not too bad considering the data. 
 
For all those who may be lost within the statistical jargon, an R squared value is a representation of how close the data points lie to the curve generated by that data.  The highest an R squared value can be is 1.0. 
A value of .9062 suggests  that the data you are using to  create the line indeed makes a straight line.  If you are still lost, but interested, email me and I will help you out.
