R2, or the Coefficient of Determination, is the square of the coefficient of correlation (r). The coefficient of correlation describes the strength of the relationship between the X and Y variables. The standard error of the residuals is the standard deviation of the dispersion about the regression line. The t-statistic measures the statistical significance of the coefficients of the regression equation. In the response: "percent of variability of the independent variable that is explained by the variability of the dependent variable," the definitions of the variables are reversed. |
