A study was conducted on 40 different brands of golf balls with respect to the distance the ball traveled after being struck with standardized test 7-iron.The response variable DIST is the measurement of the carry distance of the shot in yards.The explanatory variables are SMASH,the ratio of the ball speed/club speed at impact;SPIN,the initial spin rate of the ball in RPMs;and HEIGHT,the peak height of the ball in flight measured in feet. The following is a table showing some computer output (missing results are shown by _**)for a least-squares fit of a multiple regression model using these variables. What is the value of the squared multiple correlation ? A)0.036 B)0.960 C)0.163 D)0.964 E)0.404

The squared multiple correlation, also known as the coefficient of determination, is the proportion of variability in the response variable explained by the regression model using the explanatory variables. In this case, the value is 0.964, indicating that 96.4% of the variability in the carry distance of the golf balls can be explained by the combination of the SMASH, SPIN, and HEIGHT variables. Choice D is the correct answer.
