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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.
