Answer to Question 2

This question is asked frequently. However, guidelines for R2 values are neither simple nor straightforward. Indeed, good and bad values for the coefficient of determination depend on so many factors that a single precise guideline is considered inappropriate. The focus should be on the F-test. In practice, do not expect to often see a simple regression result with an R2 anywhere near 0.875 . They will normally be considerably lower.
