Statistical modelling/Milk offtake

Multiplying the s.e. by 2 and adding to and subtracting, respectively, from the mean, gives an approximate estimate of the 95% confidence intervals (namely, -1.0160 to -0.6276 for LOCATION and -0.0849 to -0.0173 for AGEC) within which the true difference between locations and the true slope are expected to lie.

We can see that neither of the pairs of limits contain the value zero, confirming that the data can be represented by separate lines with a slope that is significantly different from zero.
