Question

Use the value of the linear correlation coefficient r to find the coefficient of determination and the percentage ofthe total variation that can be explained by the linear relationship between the two variables. r = 0.885 (x = weight of male, y = waist size of male)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of determination = $r^{2} = 0.885^{2}$ = 0.7832

It means about 78% variation in waist size of males can be explained by their weight and about 23% can not be explained.
