Chapter 10: Q3BSC (page 468)
Interpreting\({R^2}\)In Exercise 2, the quadratic model results in = 0.255. Identify the percentage of the variation in Super Bowl points that can be explained by the quadratic model relating the variable of year and the variable of points scored. (Hint: See Example 2.) What does the result suggest about the usefulness of the quadratic model?
Short Answer
25.5% of the variation in Super Bowl points is explained by the quadratic model between the variable 鈥測ear鈥 and the variable 鈥淪uper Bowl scores鈥.
Since the value of the \({R^2}\)is low, it can be said that the given quadratic model is not very useful.
