R2

(a) y = 2.7394x - 118.1368

             (b) R² = 0.8215 or 82.15%

Step-by-step explanation: Regression line is the best line that relates the variables in the data.

To calculate the fitted regression equation:

1) Calculate average of x-values () and average of y-values ();

2) Calculate the slope, b, by doing:

3) Calculate y-intercept, a, by doing:

4) Then, it gives regression equation: y = bx + a

For the data on chemical reactions:

(a)

b = 2.7394

a = -118.1368

y = 2.7394x - 118.1368

The fittest regression equation is y = 2.7394x - 118.1368.

(b) R is correlation coefficient and measures the strength of the relationship between the variables. It is calculated as:

For this fit, R = 0.9064

The variable R² is the coefficient of determination, is the square of correlation coefficient and is usually stated as a percent.

What the variable represents is the percent of variation in the dependent variable (y) explained by the variation in the independent variable (x).

For this fit:

0.8215

What it entails is that 82.15% of the variation of retention time is due to the molecular weight of each chemical compound.
