When You Conduct Multiple Regression Analysis with Two Independent Variables

Multiple Choice

When you conduct multiple regression analysis with two independent variables with the potential to predict the change in one dependent variable and when you notice that your R square is .342, it means:

A) that these two independent variables have the high potential to predict the change in the dependent variable
B) that the independent variables can explain only 34% of the variance in the dependent variable
C) the analysis of the predictive relationship between the variables left 66% of the variance in the dependent variable unexplained
D) that the independent variables can explain only 34% of the variance in the dependent variable and that the analysis of the predictive relationship between the variables left 66% of the variance in the dependent variable unexplained
