Question

A university has found a correlation between Math SAT scores and first year GPAs, and r = 0.4.

Suppose a student scores at the 10th percentile of Math SAT scores. What would regression predict for their GPA? Choose the answer that is closest.

Group of answer choices
It's at the 20th percentile
it's at the 28th percentile
it's at the 33rd percentile
it's at the 30th percentile
Expert Solution
Step 1

For a provided correlation coefficient (i.e., r=0.4), using the regression, a percentile rank of one variable (i.e., the GPA in this case) can be interpreted from a provided percentile of another variable (i.e, the percentile in Math SAT).
