Answer and Explanation:

R-square measures whether the variation exists or how much dependence the independent variables on the dependent variables.

R2 = .45 which is quite low. This shows that there is not much variation. In order to increase the R2 the researcher can add more independent variables.

The below part is taken from the internet as the question was incomplete:

Sunny days = 0.5

Intercept = 2.1

The slope shows a positive relationship (direct relationship) with the dependent variable which is crime dependency.

Sunny days is the independent variable.

Intercept is also positive whereas there is significance in the p value which helps in concluding that we will reject the null hypothesis.
