What does it mean if the discriminant function is estimated and the square of the canonical correlation is .64?
A) 64% of the explained variance is accounted for.
B) The null hypothesis is not rejected.Therefore,there is no significant discrimination between groups.
C) 64% of the variance in the dependent variable is explained by the model.
D) B and C are correct.

The square of the canonical correlation represents the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the discriminant function. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because it is not the proportion of explained variance in the independent variables, and option B is incorrect because the null hypothesis being rejected or not is not related to the canonical correlation. Option D is incorrect because only option C is correct.
