​A researcher has collected data on the prevalence of a type of cancer and its link to concentrations of radon gas in the area. They calculate​ Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient to be 0.21.

​b) What percentage of the variation in the prevalence of this cancer could be attributed to the variation in radon gas​ concentration? Write your answer correct to zero decimal places e.g. 16​ %, 85​ %, 3 ​%. Do not write the percentage sign.

you need to find r2... this is called the coefficient of determination and represents the % of variation attributable to the radion gas.

But all they gave me was the co-effiecient which is 0.21 so do l square it making it 4%?
