Coefficient of determination

We have to do this assignment for pre-calc and we have to find the best fit line for some data. The quartic reg was the best fit according to the coefficient of determination but when I pop the equation into the graph, it comes up with crazy numbers. I noticed that it had R-squared as its CoD but some other regs had r-squared. Note that the CoD and equations were found in a calculator.

My question is, is there a difference between r and R?

r shows how strong the line is, if it is 1, it is a really strong positive line, -1 is a really strong negative line. 0 is almost no correlation.

r squared turns into a precentage to say like say my r squared is .62, you can find 62% of the data using teh line.


idk what you're talking about though.

That's not what I meant. See example pics:

See how the first one has lowercase r-square and the second one has uppercase R-square?

R might stand for a combination of radii like r1 + r2..... can't remember anything else atm.

Every time you download Garry's Mod illegally, Garry makes a bug.

When people ask me "Plz" because its shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because its shorter than "Yes".
