In a multiple regression analysis involving 5 independent variables and 30 observations, SSR = 380 and SSE = 45.The multiple coefficient of determination is

A) .80.
B) .89.
C) .25.
D) .11.

Multiple Coefficient

Often referred to as the coefficient of multiple determination in statistics, it measures the proportion of variance in a dependent variable that is predictable from independent variables.

SSR

Sum of Squared Regression, a measure used in statistical analysis to determine the variance explained by the regression line.

SSE

Stands for Sum of Squares Error, a measure used in statistics to quantify the variation or deviation of a set of values from their mean.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The multiple coefficient of determination, R-squared, is calculated as the ratio of the regression sum of squares (SSR) to the total sum of squares (SST). SST is the sum of SSR and SSE.

SST = SSR + SSE
SST = 380 + 45 = 425

R-squared = SSR/SST
R-squared = 380/425
R-squared = 0.894

Therefore, the multiple coefficient of determination is 0.894 or 0.89 (option B). This indicates that about 89% of the variability in the dependent variable can be explained by the independent variables in the model.
