Student Absences and Grades on the Final Exam

Dr. V. noticed that the more frequently a student is late or absent from class the worse he or she performs on the final exam. He decided to investigate. Dr. V. collected a random sample of 22 students. This sample includes the number of times a student is absent and their grades on the final exam. The data can be found in the Excel file Assignment10.xlsx. Do not use any software that I did not assign.

 

Question 1: Which or the two variables (times absent or grades on the final exam) is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?

 

Question 2: Using Microsoft Excel:  SHOW YOUR WORK

  Times Late/

25 2 86.00
26 2 88.00
  1. Count the number of XY variables.

 

  1. Calculate the mean and sample standard deviation of both the independent and dependent variables.

 

  1. Calculate the correlation coefficient, r, using Excel’s CORREL function. Explain what it means.

 

  1. Calculate the coefficient of determination, r2, using Excel’s RSQ function. Explain what it means..

 

Remember: Both the coefficient of correlation and the coefficient of determination are considered standardized Effect Sizes. Be sure to discussion the size of the effect.
