What is the relationship between the coefficient of determination and the correlation coefficient?
A) The larger the correlation coefficient, the larger the coefficient of determination.
B) The larger the correlation coefficient, the smaller the coefficient of determination.
C) The relationship between them would have a correlation coefficient of zero exactly.
D) The larger the correlation coefficient, the more variance can be attributed to error or chance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (r-squared) is equal to the square of the correlation coefficient (r), so as r increases, r-squared also increases. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
