FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the coefficient of determination (R²)?

Back

The coefficient of determination (R²) is the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable, calculated as the square of the correlation coefficient.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the coefficient of determination from the correlation coefficient?

Back

The coefficient of determination (R²) is calculated by squaring the correlation coefficient (r). For example, if r = 0.865, then R² = 0.865² = 0.748.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the coefficient of determination tell us about the data?

Back

The coefficient of determination tells us the percentage of data that is on the line of best fit, indicating how well the model explains the data.
