To calculate the value of the multiple R (the correlation coefficient), we need to utilize the F-statistic from the ANOVA table provided.
The formula to find the multiple R from the F-statistic is:
\[ R = \sqrt{\frac{F \cdot df_{Regression}}{F \cdot df_{Regression} + df_{Residual}}} \]
From your data:
- \( F = 17 \)
- \( df_{Regression} = 1 \)
- \( df_{Residual} = 6 \)
Plugging in the values:
\[ R = \sqrt{\frac{17 \cdot 1}{17 \cdot 1 + 6}} = \sqrt{\frac{17}{17 + 6}} = \sqrt{\frac{17}{23}} \]
Calculating it:
\[ R = \sqrt{0.7391304348} \approx 0.8607 \]
Now, rounding this value to two decimal places, we get:
Multiple R: 0.86
