The limit of multiple correlation coefficient R 1.23 are:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

0 to 1

The multiple correlation coefficient \(R_{1.23}\) is the simple correlation between \(X_{1}\) and its best linear predictor \(\hat X_{1}\) based on \(X_{2}, X_{3}\). Because the predicted values are scaled to move in the same direction as \(X_{1}\), this correlation is never negative.

Equivalently, \(R^{2}\) is a proportion of variance explained, so \(0\le R^{2}\le 1\) and therefore \(0\le R\le 1\). The range \(-1\) to \(1\) belongs to the simple correlation \(r\), not \(R\). Hence the limits are 0 to 1.
