Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

SST is the total variation in the y values, SSR is the variation in the y values that is explained by the regression, and SSE is the variation in the y values that is not explained by the regression. The coefficient of multiple determination is equal to 1 - (SSE/SST), or SSR/SST. If SSE is small compared to SST, SSR will be large compared to SST, and the multiple regression equation will explain a large portion of the variation in y. Recall that SST = SSR + SSE.
