The coefficient of multiple determination measures the proportion of the total variation in the dependent variable (Y) that is explained by the independent variables (including 11ebc114_12a8_a1e8_8acb_d36333f1443b_TB8562_11). Therefore, choice B is the best answer. The coefficient of multiple determination (R-squared) measures the proportion of the total variation in Y that is explained by the regression equation.
