Researchers are investigating how the amount of monthly rainfall, measured in centimeters (cmcm), affects the monthly growth, in cmcm, of a certain plant. From a sample of data, the researchers created a least-squares regression line. Computer output is shown in the following table.

Which of the following statements is an interpretation of the value 0.75 shown in the table?

A.) Monthly growth is expected to increase by 0.75 cmcm when rainfall increases by 1 cmcm.

B.) Rainfall is expected to increase by 0.75 cmcm when monthly growth increases by 1 cmcm.

C.) For a month with 0 cmcm of rainfall, the monthly growth is expected to be approximately 0.75 cmcm.

D.) For a plant with 0 cmcm of monthly growth, the month had an expected rainfall of approximately 0.75 cmcm.

E.) Approximately 75% of the variability in monthly growth is due to its linear relationship with rainfall.
