Question

The arm span and foot length were both measured (in centimeters) for each of 20 students in a biology class. The computer output displays the regression analysis.
Which of the following is the best interpretation of the coefficient of determination r2?

About 37% of the variation in arm span is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the foot length.
About 65% of the variation in foot length is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the arm span.
About 63% of the variation in arm span is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the foot length.
About 63% of the variation in foot length is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the arm span.

Answer 1

Answer:

The guy above me is completely wrong hahaha.

The correct answer should have a 63%.

It's probably D. The terminology is a little confusing.

The equation of the output looks like:

-7.611 + .186(x) = y

x --> Arm span

y --> Foot span

The linear relationship is formed with the armspan.
