An article included a summary of findings regarding the use of SAT I scores, SAT II scores, and high school grade point average (GPA) to predict first-year college GPA. The article states that "among these, SAT II scores are the best predictor, explaining 17 percent of the variance in first-year college grades. GPA was second at 15.3 percent, and SAT I was last at 13.6 percent."
If the data from this study were used to fit a least squares line with y = first-year college GPA and x = high school GPA, what would the value of r2 have been? r2 =_______

In an experiment reported by J. Singer and D. Andrade in the article “Regression Models for the Analysis of Pretest/Posttest Data” (Biometrics, Vol. 53, pp. 729–735), the effect of using either a conventional or experimental (hugger) toothbrush was investigated. Twelve female and 12 male preschoolers were selected. Within each gender group, six were randomly assigned to the conventional toothbrush and the remaining six to the experimental toothbrush. After each subject brushed with the assigned toothbrush, a dental plaque index was measured. The higher the dental plaque index, the greater was the amount of plaque on an individual’s teeth. a.
