Scenario: Two researchers are examining academic success. They use the same set of 10 high school student participants, but they each measure academic success differently. Researcher 1 measures academic success by asking the participants to self-report which letter grade is most typical for them to receive on an assignment on the standard A through F scale. Researcher 2 measures academic success by accessing the students' academic records and retrieving their overall grade average from the school's system. The participants' scores are shown below.

Transcribed Image Text:**Scenario:** Two researchers are examining academic success. They use the same set of 10 high school student participants, but they each measure academic success differently. Researcher 1 measures academic success by asking the participants to self-report which letter grade is most typical for them to receive on an assignment on the standard A through F scale. Researcher 2 measures academic success by accessing the students’ academic records and retrieving their overall grade average from the school’s system. The participants’ scores are shown below.
| **Researcher 1: Typical Letter Grade** | **Researcher 2: Overall Grade Average** |

| C | 70 |
This table compares the methods of measuring academic success by two researchers. Researcher 1 uses self-reported typical letter grades, while Researcher 2 uses overall grade averages from school records. The data shows variability in academic success as perceived by students versus recorded academic performance.
