Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination, also known as R-squared, measures the proportion of variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable(s). It ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating a perfect fit of the model to the data. Therefore, choice A is correct as it states that R-squared represents the percentage of change in the dependent variable explained by changes in the independent variable.
