B) ACT scores account for 57.74% of the total fluctuation in GPA.

D) None of the above.

Answer:

B) ACT scores account for 57.74% of the total fluctuation in GPA.

Step-by-step explanation:

The R-squared value, called the Coefficient of determination gives the percentage or proportion of variation in the dependent variable which is due to or caused by the independent variable.

In the study above, the independent variable is the ACT score, is used to draw a regression relationship between the GPA of students, with GPA being the dependent variable.

The R² :value being 0.5774 means that (0.5774 * 100%) = 57. 74 % of variation in students GPA is caused by the regression line (independent variable which is the ACT SCORE).

HENCE, we can conclude that ACT Score is responsible of 57. 74 % variation in GPA while the remaining percentage is due to other factors.
