How to solve Compute the coefficient of determination for the regression equation calculated using the data below. Table 1. White-tailed deer, like many other animal species, are larger the farther north they are from the equator. To analyze this relationship, we will compare latitude,
x
, and average weight,
y
, in pounds of male white-tailed deer sampled from locations ranging from about 8 degrees latitude North (the country of Panama) to 49 degrees latitude North (northern Minnesota). \table[[Latitude

b_(I)=5.2
and
b_(0)=40.8
. For the regression coefficient, you should get
r^(2)=0.929
