The Final Project is worth 105 points. Please download this document to your computer and save it using the naming convention specified in the course syllabus. For the Final Project you will be using the MM207 Student Data Set, the survey codebook, and StatCrunch as necessary. You should enter your answers/responses directly after the question. There is no need to retype the project.
After completing and saving the project, submit your project in the Final Drop Box.

1. Using the MM207 Student Data Set:
What is the correlation between student cumulative GPA and the number of hours spent on school work each week? Be sure to include the computations or StatCrunch output to support your answer. 0.27817234
(from StatCrunch):
a)Correlation between Q10 What is your cumulative Grade Point Average at Kaplan University? and Q11 How many hours do you spend on school work each week? is:
0.27817234
b)Is the correlation what you expected? No. I expected the correlation to be much higher because the more hours you study should equate to a much higher GPA
c)Does the number of hours spent on school work have a causal relationship with the GPA? After using a scatter plot I found that there is a casual relationship between the study time and GPA. So my answer is Yes.
d)What would be the predicted GPA for a student who spends 16 hours per week on school work? Be sure to include the computations or StatCrunch output to support your prediction. My answer: 3.6
