Step 1
The coefficient of determination, r^2, measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s). In other words, it tells us how well the independent variable(s) can predict the dependent variable. In Show more…

Given are six observations taken for two variables: Compute the correlation coefficient for these data. Keep 3 decimals in your answer. Correlation Coefficient = How much of the variation in Y values is explained by variations in X values? Keep 3 decimals in your answer.

The figure below has six scatter diagrams for hypothetical data. The correlation coefficients, in scrambled order, are: $\begin{array}{rrrrrr}{-0.85} & {-0.38} & {-1.00} & {0.06} & {0.97} & {0.62}\end{array}$ Match the scatter diagrams with the correlation coefficients.
