The variables in our dataset include the college grade point average (colGPA), high school GPA (hsGPA), and achievement test score (ACT) for a sample of 141 students from a large university; both college and high school GPAs are on a four-point scale. We estimate the following model by OLS: colGPA = \beta, + \beta 2hsGPA+\beta 3ACT + u, and obtain the following parameter estimates \beta 1 = 0.3, \beta 2 = 0.38, and \beta 3 = 0.037. Predict the college GPA of a student with high school GPA of 3.5 and ACT score of 30.
