Answer:
A. A prediction based on Model 1 is better than a prediction based on Model 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Model 1 :
R² = 0.92
s = 1.65
Model 2 :
R² = 0.85
s = 1.91
The Coefficient of determination of the first model is 0.92 which is greater than the coefficient of determination of the Second model, the coefficient of determination gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which is caused by the regression line. Hence, we can say a prediction based on Model 1 is better than a prediction based on Model 2 because a larger proportion of the variation in the dependent variable is predictable from the independent variable.
