The horizontal error bars show 95% confidence intervals for each of the means. Nonoverlapping confidence intervals imply that the means are reliably different from each other; that is, their difference is probably not merely due to sampling error.

19 Table 1: The following table shows four bivariate datasets. Each one contains eleven hypothetical observations on two variables. The variables are designated X 1 and Y 1 in the first dataset, X 2 and Y 2 in the second dataset, and so on. These datasets have a remarkable feature: They produce identical regression results. When the Y variable is regressed on the X variable in each of these datasets, the following equation is produced (the figures in parentheses are standard errors): Figure 1: The following bivariate scatterplots show the relationships within each of the four datasets listed in Table 1. Clearly, these datasets differ markedly from each other, contrary to the conclusions that one might reach based upon the OLS regression estimates, alone Y i = X i + e i R 2 =.67 (1.12) (.12) 1 1 Because the OLS estimates are identical for each of the four datasets, one could easily conclude that they all have the same bivariate structure.
