There are several formulas for computing coefficient of determination; the choice of which one to use can be based on which quantities have already been computed so far.

It notes that the normal distribution effectively approximates binomial outcomes when both np and n(1-p) exceed five. An example involving Australian Shepherd puppies illustrates these calculations for binomial probabilities, highlighting the utility of the normal distribution in simplifying computations.
