12. Regression

Why might two students have different calculated areas when measuring the same rectangle?

In a given dataset, you determine the value of the correlation coefficient to be $r=-0.957$. Find the coefficient of determination. What does this tell you about the explained variation of the data about the regression line? What about the unexplained variation?

A retail analyst is studying the relationship between the number of in-store promotional displays (x) and weekly sales revenue (y) at 12 store locations. Use the data below and a calculator to find the coefficient of determination.

"In Exercises 13-16, use the value of the correlation coefficient r to calculate the coefficient of determination r^2. What does this tell you about the explained variation of the data about the regression line? about the unexplained variation?

15. r = 0.642"

"In Exercises 13-16, use the value of the correlation coefficient r to calculate the coefficient of determination r^2. What does this tell you about the explained variation of the data about the regression line? about the unexplained variation?

13. r =- 0.450"
