You are estimating the cost of optical sensors based on the resolution of the sensor. You decide to calculate the coefficient of determination (R²) as part of determining the goodness of fit of an equation. Using the preliminary calculations below, calculate the R² and determine its meaning.

A) 16.20% of the variation in the resolution is being explained by the cost.

B) 16.20% of the variation in the cost is being explained by the resolution.

C) 83.80% of the variation in the resolution is being explained by the cost

D) 83.80% of the variation in the cost is being explained by the resolution.

Solution

D) 83.80% of the variation in the cost is being explained by the resolution.
