Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination, also known as R-squared, measures the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable. It is a value between 0 and 1, so when it is .95, it means that 95% of the variation in the dependent variable can be attributed to the variation in the independent variable. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

If the Coefficient of Determination Is
