CORRELATION COEFFICIENT COEFFICIENT OF DETERMINATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the Coefficient of Determination is .94, what does that tell you about the data?
A
94% of the variation can be explained by the relationship between x and y.
B
6% of the variation can be explained by the relationship between x and y.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ans. 3 If the coefficient of determination is 0.95, this means that 95% of the y values are positive.

Detailed explanation-2: -In this case, a coefficient of correlation of-0.9 indicates a strong negative correlation, while a coefficient of determination of 0.81 indicates that 81% of the variation in one variable can be explained by the other variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coefficient of determination (R²) measures how well a statistical model predicts an outcome. The outcome is represented by the model’s dependent variable. The lowest possible value of R² is 0 and the highest possible value is 1.
