Heating with wood is not as efficient as heating with natural gas or #2 heating oil. A significant portion of the heat generated from burning escapes up the flue to dissipate as heat in the atmosphere. Wood stoves and furnaces average about 55% efficiency. This compares to 85% efficiency fo...
The r squared is roughly 3%, if we use excel to run a simple linear least squares on the data, the significance F is 0.55, if the model was significant at the 10% probability level, then we would expect significance F to be less than 0.1, likewise for a 95% probability that the nul...
