Question

Suppose that researchers obtain a random sample of adults ages 18 – 40 and collect data on the following variables:  

shoe size – in inches 

age – in years 

height – in inches 

forearm length – in inches 

Suppose further that a multiple linear regression model is fit to the resulting data set using R Studio and that the following output is obtained from it. Use this output to answer the question that follows: 

> summary(lm(shoesize ~ age + height + forearm, data = measures))
Coefficients:

(Intercept)
age
height
forearm

Residual standard error: 1.719 on 85 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.01983, Adjusted R-squared:  0.01477  
F-statistic: 0.5731 on 3 and 85 DF,  p-value: 0.6342

Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the Adjusted R-squared? 

The probability that our model predicts the correct shoe size of a person using their age, height, and forearm length is 0.01477.

1.477% of the variation in the shoe size of adults ages 18 – 40 can be explained by their age, height, and forearm length.  

The probability that our model predicts the correct age of a person using their shoe size, height, and forearm length is 0.01477.

0.01477% of the variation in the age, height and forearm length of adults ages 18 - 40 can be explained by their shoe size.
