If the Pearson correlation between X and Y is r = 0.60,then the regression equation predicts 36% of the variance in the Y scores.

Question

The coefficient of determination (r^2) gives the proportion of variance in Y that can be explained by the linear relationship with X. In this case, r^2 = 0.60^2 = 0.36, which means that the regression equation can predict 36% of the variance in Y scores. Therefore, the statement is true.
