Tom Well, FRM, works for a trading company. Using historical data, he has computed the following variables considering one independent and one dependent variable.
If we are dealing with a sample size of 62 observations, what is the coefficient of determination and the standard error of the estimate, respectively?
A
Coefficient of Determination = 0.50, Standard Error of the Estimate = 0.50
B
Coefficient of Determination = 0.80, Standard Error of the Estimate = 0.80
C
Coefficient of Determination = 0.80, Standard Error of the Estimate = 0.50
D
Coefficient of Determination = 0.25, Standard Error of the Estimate = 0.25
Explanation:
Total variation (TSS) = Explained variation (ESS) + Unexplained variation (SSR)
TSS = 60 + 15 = 75
R² = ESS / TSS = 60 / 75 = 0.80
SEE = √(Unexplained variation / (n - 2)) = √(15 / (62 - 2)) = √(15 / 60) = √0.25 = 0.50
Key Formulas:
Therefore, the correct combination is Coefficient of Determination = 0.80 and Standard Error of the Estimate = 0.50.
