In chemistry, a coefficient in front of a chemical formula tells you how many moles you have. When balancing a chemical equation, the law of conservation of matter must be upheld. To do this, you add coefficients as needed, and these coefficients represent mole ratios of either reactants or products.

Nothing. It depends what you're talking about specifically. Coefficient is just a number in an equation.

What is a coefficient and what is a coefficient and what does it tell you?

A coefficient is a number (or a representation of a number such as x or y) that comes before a number, variable, or an expression. Typically used in algebraic notation, a coefficient is usually used to indication some sort of multiplication. For example: 6a The coefficient in this case is 6, and is is being used to indicate multiplying the term "a" by 6.

Can A regression equation have a negative coefficient of correlation and a negative coefficient of determination?

It's not quite possible for the coefficient of determination to be negative at all, because of its definition as r2 (coefficient of correlation squared). The coefficient of determination is useful since tells us how accurate the regression line's predictions will be but it cannot tell us which direction the line is going since it will always be a positive quantity even if the correlation is negative. On the other hand, r (the coefficient of correlation) gives the strength and direction of the correlation but says nothing about the regression line equation. Both r and r2 are found similarly but they are typically used to tell us different things.
