Let's request it and take a look at the output, together. I'm going to go into Analyze, Regression, Linear, and Waste Tons is going to be my dependent and we're going to do something new now.

And we have to do that to be able to request our Delta R Squared. So, we're going to go into Statistics and request Part and partial correlations, as well as R squared change, very frequently called Delta R Squared. We're going to click on Continue. We're going to click on OK. Let's scroll down and the first thing that we see is that the Zero order Correlation,…
