Solution
The first step in solving 9.3 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Finding the Coefficient of Determination and the Standard Error of Estimate In Exercises 1120, use the data to find (a) the coefficient of determination r2 and interpret the result, and (b) the standard error of estimate se and interpret the result Trees The table shows the heights (in feet) and trunk diameters (in inches)of eight trees. The equation of the regression line is yn = 0.479x - 24.086.Height, x 70 72 75 76 85 78 77 82Trunkdiameter, y8.3 10.5 11.0 11.4 14.9 14.0 16.3 15.8
From the textbook chapter Measures of Regression and Prediction Intervals you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
