44. What can we conclude if the coefficient of determination is 0.94? A) Strength of relationship is 0.94 B) Direction of relationship is positive C) 94% of total variation in one variable is explained by variation in the other variable D) All of the above are correct E) None of the above is correct

Solution

Only OPTION C is correct:

C) 94% of total variation in one variable is explained by variation in the other variable [ANSWER, C]

A is just wrong, it doesn\'t make any statistical sense.

B is false since we cannot know the relationship from just the coefficient of determination.
