The observational data permit us to establish clear statistical correlations between different parameters of stellar flare activity and the characteristics of quiet stars. These relations are:

  1. (i) between energies and frequencies of flares on stars of different luminosities;

  2. (ii) between total radiation energies of flares and quiet stars both in X-ray and Balmer emission lines;

  3. (iii) between flare decay rates just after the maxima and flare luminosities at maxima.
