Math Problem Statement

Which of these cannot be an r²-value?

Solution

The question is asking which of the given values cannot be an r2r^2-value.

Explanation of r2r^2-value:

The r2r^2-value, or the coefficient of determination, is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of the variance for a dependent variable that's explained by an independent variable(s) in a regression model. The value of r2r^2 ranges between 0 and 1.

  • r2=1r^2 = 1 means the model perfectly explains all variability in the data.
  • r2=0r^2 = 0 means the model does not explain any of the variability in the data.
  • r2r^2 values are always between 0 and 1; they cannot be negative.

Analysis of options:

  • A. 0: This is a valid r2r^2-value.
  • B. 0.75: This is a valid r2r^2-value.
  • C. 1: This is a valid r2r^2-value.
  • D. -0.75: This cannot be an r2r^2-value because r2r^2 cannot be negative.

Correct Answer:

D. -0.75

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the relationship between the correlation coefficient rr and r2r^2?
  2. How do you interpret the value of r2r^2 in a regression analysis?
  3. Can r2r^2 be used for non-linear models, and if so, how is it interpreted?
  4. What is a common limitation of using r2r^2 as a measure of model accuracy?
  5. How can a high r2r^2 value be misleading in some contexts?

Tip: While r2r^2 gives a measure of how well your model fits the data, it doesn't indicate whether the model is good in practical terms. Always look at residuals and other diagnostics!
