Question

You are interested in the effect of school spending (measured in dollars per student) on test scores (in points) for elementary school students. In a large random sample of data, you find for every additional $100 spent per student test scores increase by 10 points, on average holding other factors constant. Furthermore, the covariance between spending and test scores is 250.00 and the variance of test scores is 49.00. What is the R2 from the OLS regression of test scores on spending? I was not given a regression equation or any other data.

Definition Definition Measure of how two random variables change together. Covariance indicates the joint variability or the directional relationship between two variables. When two variables change in the same direction (i.e., if they either increase or decrease together), they have a positive covariance. When the change is in opposite directions (i.e., if one increases and the other decreases), the two variables have a a negative covariance.
