Answer 1

Answer:

0.451751 is the proportion of variability of Gini Coefficient explained by our least squares lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$R\ squared = 0.451751$

To predict: Gini by year

Required

Interpret the R squared

In statistics, r squared measures the extent to which the variance of one variable explains the variance of the other variable.

In this question, the variable to predict is Gini:

From the list of options, (c) is correct
