The fraction of the variability in fuel economy is accounted for by the engine size is 59.91%.
Given that, r= -0.774.
To solve such problems we must know about the fraction of the variability in data values or R-squared.
<h3>What fraction of the variability in fuel economy is accounted for by the engine size?</h3>
The fraction by which the variance of the dependent variable is greater than the variance of the errors is known as R-squared.
It is called so because it is the square of the correlation between the dependent and independent variables, which is commonly denoted by “r” in a simple regression model.
Fraction of the variability in data values = (coefficient of correlation)²= r²
Now, the variability in fuel economy = r²= (-0.774)²
= 0.599076%= 59.91%
Hence, the fraction of the variability in fuel economy accounted for by the engine size is 59.91%.
