True or False? The r2 value and a least squares regression line can be an excellent way to demonstrate the degree of correlation between two variables, and the type of association between the two variables.

This quation was asked twice in bartley but the answers were different. Clarification is needed. Thank you

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The r2 value and a least squares regression line can be an excellent way to demonstrate the degree of correlation between two variables, and the type of association between the two variables.

Coefficient of Determination r2 is a measure which indicates the variation in the dependent variable with respect to change in the independent variable.

In other words, r2 is used to explain how much variability of one factor (dependent variable) can be caused by its relationship to another related variable.

Least squares regression line is the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the data points from the line as small as possible
