If the coefficient of determination is 0.767,what is correlation between the two variables?

A) 0.246
B) 0.496
C) 0.504
D) 0.876

Coefficient of Determination

A statistic that indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable predictable from the independent variable(s).

Correlation

A quantitative measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The coefficient of determination is also known as R-squared and is the square of the correlation coefficient (r).
R-squared = 0.767
r^2 = 0.767
r = sqrt(0.767) = 0.876
Therefore, the correlation between the two variables is 0.876, which is best represented by choice D.
