Multiple R^2

Assuming a multiple R-squared for a regression of 0.36, the correlation between the predicted and actual values of the dependent variable is:

correlation is for 2 variables

answer is 0.6

R^2 is the squared correlation between the actual and predicted values.

Thus, 0.36=0.6*0.6

To exapnd after the two answers belo.

Correlation is a statisticla measure with two variables .In linear regression we can go from R2 to r - ie. correlation. (remember though it could be +/- 0.6)

With multiple regression we have more that 1 independant variable and nannot make the jump to correlation.
