Find the correlation coefficient and report it accurate to three
decimal places.
r =
What proportion of the variation in y can be explained by
the variation in the values of x? Report answer as a
percentage accurate to one decimal place.
r² = %
Correlation coefficient calculation:
r = 0.414
Coefficient of Determination r2 = 0.4138^2 = 0.171
r2 = 17.1%
