Expert Solution

Step 1
R-square is the goodness of fit for linear regression model. It basically shows how regression model fits data set.
It represents the percentage of variation for dependent variable that explained by independent variables.
R-square lies between 0-1 or 0-100% where 0% means no variation in the response variable from its mean, whereas 100% full variation from its mean value.
