                                                                      19
             How well is this conjecture (that Venus was originally called Mazar)  aligned

          with the statistical results of the previous subsection?
             In fact, incredibly well!
                                              19
             The numerical value of the word Mazar  is
                           247 = (200 = ר) + (7 = ז) + (40 = מ)


             With this value for the ONV of Venus, the linear regression analysis of the
          previous subsection was rerun to produce the results shown in Figure 8.4.
             The improvement over Figure 8.3, where the observation relating to Venus
                 14
          (Nogah)  nearly touches the upper confi dence-interval limit, is considerable. This
          also shows in the resulting statistics.

             The correlation of 0.9552 in the earlier analysis (Figure 8.3) has now “jumped” to


          0.9961. The model F-ratio is 386.4, which, for n = 5, is highly significant (p<0.000288).

          In other words, the probability that the five points in the figure would align themselves

          on a straight line, the way they did, by chance alone, is less than 0.029%!

             celestial object numerical values (ONV). All names (except Earth and possibly Venus ) are nonbiblical.
                                   Hebrew for Venus is Mazar  .
