An important goal in occupational safety is "active caring." Employees demonstrate active caring (AC) about safety when they identify hazards and unsafe practices and then implement appropriate corrective actions for these conditions or behaviors. Three factors hypothesized to increase the propensity for an employee to actively care for safety are (1) high self-esteem, (2) optimism, and (3) group cohesiveness. Researchers attempted to establish empirical support for the AC hypothesis by fitting the model E(y) = Po + B1X, + $2*2 + 83*3, where y = AC score, x, = Self-esteem score, x2 = Optimism score, and x3 = Group cohesion score. The regression analysis, based on data collected for n = 34 hourly workers at a large plant, yielded a multiple coefficient of determination of R- = 0.253. Complete parts a and b below. a. Interpret the value of R. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or a decimal.) A. The value implies that the model has explained R = % of the total sample variation in the AC scores. O B. The value implies that the model has not explained R- = % of the total sample variation in the AC scores. C. The value implies that the model has explained R
