QUESTION 7
Which is NOT true about the coefficient of determination?
As you add more variables, the R-square generally rises.
As you add more variables, the adjusted R-square can fall.
If the R-square is above 50%, the regression is considered significant.
The R-square gives the percent of the variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variables.
The higher is the R-square, the better is the fit.
