Question

Interpret the coefficient of determination. Choose the correct answer below. A. The coefficient of determination measures the percent of variation not explained by the multiple regression model. B. The coefficient of determination measures the percent of variation explained by the multiple regression model. C. The coefficient of determination measures the expected error of the predicted sales given a specific total square footage and number of shopping centers. D. The coefficient of determination measures the average predicted sales for the multiple regression model.

Answer 1

B.The coefficient of determination measures the percent of variation explained by the multiple regression model.

Explanation:

The answer to this question is option b because the coefficient of variation R² gives a measure of the variability that is ending y values or the dependent variables which can be explained in a multiple linear regression.

In simpler words, it is the percentage of proportion of variation in the dependent variable that can be predicted using the explanatory variables.
