An agribusiness performed a regression of wheat yield (bushels per acre) using observations on 21 test plots with four predictors (rainfall, fertilizer, soil acidity, hours of sun). The standard error was 1.02 bushels.
A plot of the residuals and frequencies is commonly called a

Interpret the coefficient of determination for the regression model.
A) We expect most of the sampled diamond prices to fall within $2235.12 of their least
squares predicted values.
B) For every 1-carat increase in the size of a diamond, we estimate that the price of the
diamond will increase by $1117.56.
C) There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the size of the diamond is a useful predictor of
the price of a diamond when testing at alpha =…
