Option D) is correct.
D. There is a 31.2% improvement in our ability to predict the dependent variable.
i.e. 31.2% of the variation in dependent variable can be explained by the variation in independent variable.

1.The Breusch-Pagan test for heteroskedasticity A. tests for a relationship between the estimated residuals and the independent variables B. tests for a relationship between the squared estimated residuals and the independent variables C. tests for a relationship between the estimated residuals and the dependent variable D. tests for a relationship between the squared estimated residuals and the dependent variable 2. In the presence of heteroskedasticity hypothesis testing is unreliable (T/F) 3. Plotting the residuals (predicted errors) against the independent variables...
Part 1: The appropriate test to check for differences in means of dependent samples is the: (a) Chi-square test (b) paired T-test (c) goodness-of-fit Part 2: A coefficient of correlation of -0.9 indicates the relationship between the two variables is: (a) weak and negative (b) strong and positive (c) strong and negative Part 3: A normal distribution has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. For a sample size of 16, the standard error of the mean...

A PRE measure with a value of .17 indicates what? Choices A. We should accept the null hypothesis B. There is a 17% improvement in the probability of predicting the value of the dependent variable by knowing the independent variable C. Our confidence interval is low so we should reject the null hypothesis D. The variables are not significantly related
