+## Why does a correlation of 0.20 only explain 4% of the observed variance?
+
+The correlation coefficient (r) measures the strength and direction of a linear
+relationship between two variables. However, to determine the proportion of the
+variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent
+variable(s), we use the coefficient of determination (r-squared).
+
+The r-squared value is found by squaring the correlation coefficient. So if we
+have a correlation of 0.20, we square this value (0.20 \* 0.20 = 0.04 or 4%) to
+get our r-squared value. This means that only 4% of the total variation in y can
+be explained by the linear relationship between x and y.
+
+It is important to note that a low r-squared value does not necessarily mean
+there is no relationship between the variables or that a model is not useful. It
+simply means that most of the variation in y remains unexplained by x using a
+linear model.
+
+Also, while r-squared gives us an indication of how well our model fits our
+data, it should not be used alone for assessing model fit or comparing models as
+it does not take into account overfitting or complexity of models.
