SSE = 60

The multiple coefficient of determination is

A) .3636.
B) .7333.
C) .275.
D) .5.

Sum Of Squares

In statistics, the sum of squares is a measure used to quantify the variation or dispersion of a set of numbers.

Independent Variables

Variables in an experiment or model that are manipulated or classified by the researcher to observe their effect on the dependent variable.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The total sum of squares (SST) can be calculated as the sum of SSR and SSE: SST = SSR + SSE = 165 + 60 = 225.
The multiple coefficient of determination, R-squared, is the proportion of the total variation in the dependent variable (y) that is explained by the independent variables (x1, x2, x3, x4).
R-squared = SSR/SST = 165/225 = 0.7333
Therefore, the best choice is B, which corresponds to R-squared = 0.7333.
