P-value denotes measure of confidence 

In a Trend Lines Model in Tableau, two measures are extremely important: P-Values and R-Squared. R-Squared (goodness-of-fit) is a measure of how well the data fits the linear model. It is the ratio of the variance of the model's error, or unexplained variance, to the total variance of the data.
