Question

3F)What is the coefficient of determination and what is it telling you about the relationship between these two variables?

Answer 1

In statistics coefficient of determination or R²(or r²), is a measure to assess the predicting ability of a model that is ability to explain or predict the outcome in the linear regression setting.

R² indicate the measure of variance in the Y variable (dependent variable) which is predicted or explained by linear regression and the X variabe (independent variable) or the predictor variable. It specifies how much variation in Y variable can be explained or predicted by the variation in X variable in a regression setting.
