Explanation / Answer

The scatter plot is as this

For coefficient of determination first find correlation coefficient r.

X=334 , Y=611 , XY=26584 , X2=13970 , Y2=51581

r=0.9754

r = 0.9754 is near 1 and positive.

This implies there is strong positive correlation between x and y

r^2 = 0.9514

Coefficient of determination explains the variation of dependent variable for indepependent variable.
