She estimates the following model as Rent = ?0 + ?1Bedroom + ?2Bath + ?3Sqft+ ?. The following ANOVA table shows a portion of the regression results.

19.08% of the variation in Rent is explained by the variation in the explanatory variables

19.08% of the variation in the explanatory variables is explained by the variation in Rent

80.92% of the variation in Rent is explained by the variation in the explanatory variables

80.92% of the variation in the explanatory variables is explained by the variation in Rent

Explanation / Answer

Rsq=Coeffciient of determiantion

=SSE/SST

=1,343,176/7,037,893

=

0.190849

=0.1908*100

=19.08%

19.08% VARIATION IN Rent IS EXPLAINED BY THE independen variables

OPTION A
