In a multiple regression analysis involving 5 independent variables and 30 observations, SSR = 360 and SSE = 40. The coefficient of determination is _____.
A) .80
B) .90
C) .25
D) .15

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (R-squared) is defined as SSR/SST, where SST = SSR + SSE. Therefore, R-squared = SSR/SST = 360/(360+40) = 0.9, or 90%. The best choice is B, because it correctly calculates the coefficient of determination using the given values.
