Part 4

d. Compute and interpret the adjusted

r squaredr2

for each of the three models.

Start with the part (a) model.

The adjusted

r squaredr2

shows that

18.818.8%

of the variation in

is explained by

before or after

correcting for the number of independent variables in the model.

(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
