Description

**What's your use case?**

The Scatter Plot widget lets the user add a regression line to the scatter plot. However, there is no indication of the uncertainty of the displayed regression. I would like to be able to display x% confidence intervals.

**What's your proposed solution?**

A checkbox and number box to add confidence intervals for given percentages. (And the same for standard errors/deviations.)

**Are there any alternative solutions?**

No easy alternative comes to mind.

Research direction

Start with the Scatter Plot widget and trace how its regression line is configured and rendered. Determine how the proposed checkbox and percentage input should expose confidence intervals, including the requested standard-error or deviation option, and verify the selected interval is shown on the plot.
