Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that scoring higher on homework assignments leads to higher test scores. Immediately after giving the most recent test, he surveyed each of the 21 students in his class and asked them what their homework average was for material related to this test. He then matched each student's test grade with his or her survey response. After compiling the data, he used homework averages to predict each student's test score. He found the least-squares regression line to be ^ y = 0.2 x + 82 . He also calculated that the value of r , the correlation coefficient, was 0.82. Which of the choices identifies the correct value of the coefficient of determination. R 2, and gives a correct interpretation of its meaning? A. R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line. B. R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in homework averages can be explained by the least‑squares regression line. C. R2 = 0.8, meaning 82% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line. D. R2 = 0.82, meaning 82% of the total variation in homework averages can be explained by the least‑squares regression line. E. R2 = 0.9055, meaning 90.55% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line.
