CORRELATION COEFFICIENT COEFFICIENT OF DETERMINATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the coefficient of determination is 0.81, the correlation of coefficient is
A
0.6561.
B
must be positive.
C
must be negative.
D
could be either +0.9 or-0.9.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The coefficient of correlation is, r=0.90.

Detailed explanation-2: -The coefficient of determination is the proportion of total variation in Y that is explained by X. The coefficient of determination is the square root of the coefficient of correlation. If the coefficient of correlation is-0.90, the coefficient of determination is-0.81.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meaning of the Coefficient of Determination If the coefficient is 0.80, then 80% of the points should fall within the regression line. Values of 1 or 0 would indicate the regression line represents all or none of the data, respectively.
