Question

An estimated regression equation was developed relating the top speed for a boat to the boat's beam and horsepower rating, using the data below.

Compute R2 (to 3 decimals) and R2a (to 2 decimals). Report R2 and Ra2 between 0 and 1.

How good is the fit provided by the estimated regression equation?
Select:

The estimated regression equation provided an excellent fit

The estimated regression equation provided a moderately good fit

The estimated regression equation did not provide a good fit

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Multiple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: Top Speed
Independent Variable(s): Beam, HP
Top Speed = 64.965881 + -0.3895895 Beam + 0.051064402 HP

Parameter estimates:


Analysis of variance table for multiple regression model:


Summary of fit:
Root MSE: 1.5953761
R-squared: 0.5972
R-squared (adjusted): 0.5498

R2 = 0.597

R2a = 0.55

The estimated regression equation provided a moderately good fit
