Answer: compare the relative strength of coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation: The Coefficient of determination usually denoted as R^2 is obtained by taking the squared value of the correlation Coefficient (R). It's value ranges from 0 to 1 and the value obtained gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which could be attributed to it's correlation or relationship to th independent variable. With a R^2 value close to 1, this means a large portion of Variation in a variable A could be explained due to changes in variable B while a low value signifies a low variance between the variables. Hence, the Coefficient of determination is used in comparing the relative strength of the Coefficients in other to establish whether a weak or strong relationship exist.
