Civil engineers often use the straight-line equation, E(y) = β₀ + β₁x, to model the relationship between the mean shear strength E(y) of masonry joints and precompression stress, x. To test this theory, a series of stress tests were performed on solid bricks arranged in triplets and joined with mortar. The precompression stress was varied for each triplet and the ultimate shear load just before failure (called the shear strength) was recorded. The stress results for n = 7 triplet tests is shown in the accompanying table followed by a SAS printout of the regression analysis.

Give a practical interpretation of R², the coefficient of determination for the least squares model. Express R² to the nearest whole percent.
◦ About 91% of the total variation in the sample of y-values can be explained by (or attributed to) the linear relationship between shear strength and precompression stress.
◦ In repeated sampling, approximately 91% of all similarly constructed regression lines will accurately predict shear strength.
◦ We expect about 91% of the observed shear strength values to lie on the least squares line.
◦ We expect to predict the shear strength of a triplet test to within about .91 ton of its true value.
