Research Question 1
1) Which of the quizzes has the largest relationship with the student's performance on the final examination points?
(a) Include your table/calculations from SPSS
(b) State which quiz has the largest relationship.
(c) Explain your answer to part b.
2) Can the quiz with the highest correlation to the final exam be used to predict the final exam points? Your answer must be one complete paragraph and explain the following:
(a) Can the specified quiz be used to predict the final exam?
(b) Why or why not?
(c) If yes, how?
3) What would the predicted final exam score be if the quiz grade were a 6. Please INCLUDE the prediction regression equation from SPSS and SHOW ALL WORK.
(a) Include your table from SPSS.
(b) Include the prediction regression equation.
(c) Include your work and calculations for obtaining the final value using the equation in part (b).
(d) State the final exam score predicted value.
Research Question 2
4) Create a scatter plot to show the relationship between a student's GPA (x) and their total points in the statistics class (y). PLEASE INCLUDE BOTH THE SCATTER PLOT AND THE PEARSON "r value". Explain the "r value" that you calculate.
(a) Include the scatter plot from SPSS.
(b) Calculate the Pearson "r value."
(c) Explain the "r value" that you calculated - what relationship does this show?
5) What are the total predicted points (y) for a student who enters the class with a GPA (x) of 3.5?
(a) Include your table from SPSS.
(b) Include the prediction regression equation.
(c) Include your work and calculations for obtaining the final value using the equation in part (b).
(d) State the final answer.

7) What would you predict the final exam points to be for a student with a GPA of 3.35 and an IQ of 120?
(a) Include your table from SPSS.
(b) Include the prediction regression equation.
(c) Include your work and calculations for obtaining the final value using the equation in part (b).
(d) State the final exam score predicted value.
