The coefficient of determination, r squared, is 0 .74.
00:06
What does that mean? okay, so r squared is literally r, the correlation coefficient, squared.
00:17
The correlation coefficient tells you the strength of a linear relationship and also its direction.
00:27
When you square it, we lose that direction.
00:29
But the strength of the relationship, when we square it, gives us the percentage of variation explained by the model.
00:39
Specifically, the percentage of variation explained by the model for the dependent variable.
00:46
So option d is correct here.
00:49
It's the dependent variable that is being affected by the independent.
00:57
So that's why we picked this one instead of the independent variable.
01:03
Independence because the independent variable isn't the one being influenced by this relationship...
