Coefficient of DeterminationUsing the heights and weights described in Exercise 1, the linear correlation coefficient r is 0.522. Find the value of the coefficient of determination. What practical information does the coefficient of determination provide?
Exercise 1
seNotationAssume that you have paired values consisting of heights (in inches) and weights (in lb) from 40 randomly selected men (as in Data Set 1 in Appendix B), and that you plan to use a height of 70 in. to predict weight. In your own words, describe what serepresents.
