Answer:
Correct statement: (a) and (b).
Step-by-step explanation:
R-squared is a statistical quantity that measures, just how near the values are to the fitted regression line. It is also known as the coefficient of determination.
The coefficient of determination is the squared value of the correlation coefficient.
That is,

The correlation coefficient between two variables is the measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
Its values ranges from -1.00 to +1.00.
Although <em>r</em> can be negative but R² is always positive, since square of a negative number is also positive.
So the correct statements are:
a. cannot be negative
b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation
This is a combinations problem.
The total number of possible 2-item combinations is (1000 choose 2)
The number of 2-defective combinations is (300 choose 2)
The probability =
Answer: (0.132132, 0.274368)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A simple random sample of 123 people living in Gastown and finds that 25 have an annual income that is below the poverty line.
i.e. n= 123

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : 
Confidence interval for population :

i.e. 

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line : (0.132132, 0.274368)
