A researcher studying nature vs nurture collected data on mathematical ability in 50 pairs of identical twins raised apart. The correlation coefficient for math scores between twins was r = 0.72. Additionally, environmental factors (quality of math education, study time, etc.) showed a correlation of r = 0.45 with math performance. Calculate the percentage of variance in math ability that can be attributed to genetic factors.
