You are a group of education researchers interested in how
students’ study habits relate to their academic performance. To
investigate this, you survey 10 students and collect the following
data:
• X: Number of hours spent studying per week
• Y: GPA at the end of the semester (on a 4.0 scale)
INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT OF STATISTICS
You gather the following data:
Student Study Hours per GPA (Y)
Week (X)
1 5 2.4
2 10 2.8
3 8 3.0
4 15 3.2
5 7 2.7
6 12 3.4
7 3 2.1
8 9 3.0
9 6 2.5
10 14 3.5
a) Calculate the mean of X (study hours)
b) Calculate the mean of Y (GPA).
c) Calculate the variance and standard deviation for both
variables for sample
d) Calculate the variance and standard deviation for both
variables for population
e) Calculate the covariance between X and Y.
f) Calculate the correlation coefficient (r) between X and Y.
g) Determine the linear regression equation: Y on X (predict
GPA from study hours)
h) Determine the linear regression equation: X on Y (predict
study hours from GPA)
i) Plot the data and draw both regression lines.
