D)infinity
E).01

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R-square measures the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s). The value of R-square ranges between 0 and 1, with 1 indicating that all variance in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable(s) and 0 indicating that none of the variance in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable(s). Therefore, as the precision of the prediction in a linear relationship increases, the model explains more variance in the dependent variable and the R-square value gets closer to 1.
