When the relationship between two physical variables, such as voltage and current, can be expressed as y = bx where b is a constant. b may be estimated by least squares, or by averaging the values of b obtained for each x-y data pair. We show for data gathered in an experiment, as well as through Monte Carlo simulation and mathematical analysis,…
