Step 1 :Given the data of age and bone density, we are asked to find the coefficient of determination. The coefficient of determination, often denoted as r^2, is a statistical measure that shows the proportion of the variance for a dependent variable that's explained by an independent variable or variables in a regression model.
Step 2 :To find the coefficient of determination, we first need to find the correlation coefficient (r), square it, and that will give us the coefficient of determination (r^2). The correlation coefficient can be calculated using the formula: \(r = \frac{\Sigma[(x_i - \bar{x})*(y_i - \bar{y})]}{\sqrt{\Sigma(x_i - \bar{x})^2 * \Sigma(y_i - \bar{y})^2}}\) where \(x_i\) and \(y_i\) are the individual sample points indexed with i, and \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\) are the means of the x and y variables respectively.
Step 3 :Given the age data as [33, 36, 42, 43, 53] and the bone density data as [351, 334, 323, 321, 316], we calculate the means of the x and y variables as \(\bar{x} = 41.4\) and \(\bar{y} = 329.0\) respectively.
Step 4 :Substituting these values into the formula for the correlation coefficient, we get the numerator as -379.0 and the denominator as 429.5830536694854.
Step 5 :Dividing the numerator by the denominator, we get the correlation coefficient as \(r = -0.8822508168387777\).
Step 6 :Squaring the correlation coefficient, we get the coefficient of determination as \(r^2 = 0.7783665038126905\).
Step 7 :Final Answer: The value of the coefficient of determination is \(\boxed{0.778}\).
