We have data on the lean body mass and resting metabolic rate
for 10 women who are subjects in a study of dieting.Lean body mass,
given in kilograms, is a persons weight leaving out all fat.
Metabolic rate, in calories burned per 24 hours,is the rate at
which the body consumes energy.
Lean body mass in kilograms are: ( 32.3, 43.8, 33.4, 30.9,
42.2, 35.3, 31.5, 40.5, 45.9, 47.3 )
Metabolic rates are : ( 1202.5, 1274.5, 1200.6, 1149.7,
1339, 1313.7, 1235.4, 1211.7, 1345.6, 1434.6 )
What percentage of the variability in the metabolic rate
can be explained by the body mass using linear
regression?
Using R studio, we get
Here,
Coefficient of determination R2 = 0.6432 = 64.32%
The percentage of the variability in the metabolic rate can be explained by the body mass using linear regression
= 64.32%
