A

R Square = .25 means the predictors explain 25% of the variance in GPA (overall model effect size).

B

R = .50 means the predictors explain 50% of the variance in GPA.

C

R Square = .25 means 25% of students will increase their GPA if they study more and reduce anxiety.

D

R Square = .25 means each predictor has a medium effect size.
