juniors and seniors for each class taken: a standardised final exam score, percentage of lectures 

attended, a dummy variable indicating whether the class is within the student’s major, cumulative 

grade point average prior to the start of the semester, and SAT score. 

Write a model, that explains final exam performance in terms of attendance and the other characteristics. Use s to subscript student and c to subscript class and  Which variables do not change within a student? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information:

For one semester, the data was collected from a random sample of college juniors and seniors with the variables of standardized final exam score, percentage of lectures attended, a dummy variable indicating whether the class is within the student's major, cumulative grade point average prior to the start of the semester and SAT score.

Let us denote the variables as below:

finalexam: Final exam performance of a student in the class.

lec_Attend: Percentage of lectures attended of a student in the class.

Major: It is a dummy variable indicating whether the class is within the student's major or not.

CGPA: Cumulative grade point average prior to the start of the semester and it is same for the students in different classes

SAT: SAT score of a class student in the class and it is same for the students in different classes.

Given that 'use to subscript student and to subscript class.
