For a multiple regression model the following statistics are given: Total SS = 400, SSR = 350, k = 4, and n = 20. The coefficient of determination adjusted for degrees of freedom is:

A) 87.5%
B) 15.83%
C) 12.5%
D) 84.17%
E) 16.54%

Coefficient Of Determination

A statistical measure that determines the proportion of variance in the dependent variable predictable from the independent variable(s).

Total SS

The total sum of squares in statistical analysis, representing the overall variation within a data set.

SSR

Sum of Squared Residuals; it represents the sum of the squared differences between the observed and predicted values in statistical analysis.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The coefficient of determination (R-squared) is given by the ratio SSR/Total SS.

So, R-squared = SSR/Total SS = 350/400 = 0.875

The adjusted R-squared formula takes into account the number of predictors and the sample size:

Adjusted R-squared = 1 - [(1 - R-squared)(n - 1)/(n - k - 1)]

Plugging in the numbers:

Adjusted R-squared = 1 - [(1 - 0.875)(20 - 1)/(20 - 4 - 1)] = 0.8417 or 84.17%

Therefore, the answer is D.
