Use the value of the linear correlation coefficient to calculate the coefficient

Question

Use the value of the linear correlation coefficient to calculate the coefficient of determination. What does this tell you about the explained variation of the data about the r= 0.486 Calculate the coefficient of determination (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What does this tell you about the explained variation of the data about the regression line? % of the variation can be explained by the regression line Round to one decimal place as needed.) About the unexplained variation? % of the variation is unexplained and is due to other factors or to sampling error. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

coefficient of determination is the square of correlation coefficient

thus it is (0.486)^2=0.236 or 23.6%

explained variation is 23.6% and unexplained is 100%-23.6%=76.38%
