Multiple Choice
A manufacturer of boiler drums wants to use regression to predict the number of man-hours needed to erect drums in the future. The manufacturer collected a random sample of 35 boilers and measured the following two variables: Give a practical interpretation of the coefficient of determination,
. Express
to the nearest whole percent.
A) About 43% of the sample variation in number of man-hours can be explained by the simple linear model.
B) About 2.06% of the sample variation in number of man-hours can be explained by the simple linear model.
C) Man hours needed to erect drums will be associated with boiler design pressure 43% of the time.
D) =1.88+0.00321x will be correct 43% of the time.
