r square is a measure of the linear relationship between the variables. The nearer r squared is to one, the stronger the linear relationship. However, a linear relatinship is NOT a causal relationship. Also the absence of a large r square is not evidence of no relationship: there may well be a non-linear relationship.
It is commonly accepted that for scientific purposes, a very minimum of 0.98 is accepted for r2. This is because 0.98 actually allows for quite a variance (by eye)

The coefficient, also commonly known as R-square, is used as a guideline to measure the accuracy of the model.
= CORREL(x values,y values) ***clarification**** CORREL gives you the correlation coefficient (r), which is different than the coefficient of determination (R2) outside of simple linear regression situations.
8.7.4 Properties of Regression Coefficients:(a) Correlation coefficient is the geometric mean between the regression coefficients. (b) If one of the regression coefficients is greater than unity, the other must be less than unity.(c) Arithmetic mean of the regression coefficients is greater than the correlation coefficient r, providedr > 0.(d) Regression coefficients are independent of the changes of origin but not of scale.
go to stat mode then then select (A+BX) mode and enter the data and press AC on cal. then shift+1 and go to the stat and select REG and there you can see options like A,B and r u can select any of these to get what u need .if you want the answer for r select that option. thnx.
The strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables is measured by the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient, denoted by "r," ranges from -1 to 1. A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship, and 0 indicates no linear relationship. The closer the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is to 1, the stronger the linear relationship between the variables.
