Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate SSR
To find the Sum of Squares due to Regression (SSR), we use the formula:
\[
SSR = SST - SSE
\]
Given:
\( SST = 4500 \)
\( SSE = 1575 \)
Calculating SSR:
\[
SSR = 4500 - 1575 = 2925
\]
Step 2: Calculate Coefficient of Determination
The coefficient of determination (\( R^2 \)) is calculated using the formula:
\[
R^2 = \frac{SSR}{SST}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
R^2 = \frac{2925}{4500} = 0.65
\]
Final Answer
The coefficient of determination is
\[
\boxed{R^2 = 0.65}
\]
This indicates that approximately 65% of the variability in the dependent variable can be explained by the independent variable in the regression model.
