Expert Solution
Step 1

The correlation coefficient (r)=0.904 

we know that, 

coefficient of determination measure variability in Y( Dependent variable) explained by x ( independent variables)

 

a) coefficient of determination= r^2 

                                                       =( 0.904)^2 

                                                     =  0.817×100

                                               R^2   =81.7%
