Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of variation is the sum of the Explained and Unexplained Variations?
A
Explained Variation
B
Unexplained Variation
C
Total Variation
D
Correlation Variation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The unexplained variation is the sum of the squared of the differences between the y-value of each ordered pair and each corresponding predicted y-value. The sum of the explained and unexplained variations is equal to the total variation.

Detailed explanation-2: -In statistics, the fraction of variance unexplained (FVU) in the context of a regression task is the fraction of variance of the regressand (dependent variable) Y which cannot be explained, i.e., which is not correctly predicted, by the explanatory variables X.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coefficient of determination is the proportion of the explained variation relative to the total variation. If the points are close to a straight line then the unexplained variation will be a small proportion of the total variation in the values of the response variable.
