Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (r^2) represents the proportion of the total variation in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s). In this case, an r^2 value of 0.94 indicates that 94% of the total variation in the dependent variable can be explained by the independent variable(s). It does not indicate the strength or direction of the relationship between the variables.
