1.

Draw a scatterplot comparing the students' high school GPAs to their overall
university GPAs. What does the relationship appear to be?
a. The relationship between the high school GPA and the university GPA is
that the most common GPA for both are between 3.0 and 3.5.
b. There are also more outliers for the high school students then there are
the university students

2. What is the mean math and verbal SAT score in this sample? Draw a Bar
graph comparing the mean math and verbal SAT score.
a. The mean for Math SAT is 623.076
b. The mean for Verbal SAT is 598.6

3. Did the students have higher overall GPAs or higher GPAs in their computer
science classes?
Calculate each of these means. Conduct a paired t test to see if this
difference is statistically significant
a. The mean for the computer science GPA was 3.13 and the university
GPA is 3.17 showing that the university GPA was overall higher than
the computer science GPA

4. Describe the skewness of all the 3 GPAs, High School., Computer Science and
University, by comparing the mean and median of each score. Also explain it
by producing histogram plot for those 5 scores

6. What is the probability for the mean Verbal SAT score to be greater than 550?
What is the probability for the mean Math SAT score to be greater than 550?
Which one has higher probability?
a. Verbal SAT Score
i. P (x>550)
ii. 550- 598 / (62.96) = -0.762
iii. P (Z > 0.2236) (1- 0.2236) = 0.7764
b. Math SAT Score
i. P(x>550)
ii. 550 623 / (53.76) = -1.36
iii. P (Z > 0.08691) (1- 0.08691) = 0.91309
c. The mean Math SAT score has a higher probability of being greater
than 550 then the Verbal SAT score.
7. Create a frequency table for variable high school GPA, Comp GPA, and
University GPA. The class intervals are: 2.00 - 3.00, 3.001 - 3.5, 3.501 - 4.0
