Determine and interpret the coefficient of determination, R2, for the clubhead speed versus distance data shown in Table 5 on page 225.
By Hand Approach
To compute R2, we square the linear correlation coefficient, r.

Technology Approach
We will use Excel to determine R2. The steps for obtaining the coefficient of determination using the TI-83/84 Plus graphing calculator, Minitab, Excel, and StatCrunch are given in the Technology Step-by-Step.
