 INTRO SLIDE
The project is based on how a students GPA affects
the amount that person spends on a pair of shoes
We predicted if the GPA increases per student then
the amount spent on shoes would also increase
We also predicted a positive direction and a strength
number of .545
Sample Survey Portion of population that is studied
We surveyed 25 students to gather this wonderful
information
 DATA SET SLIDE
Population The entire group of individuals being
studied
Our Population High school students
Sample Part of population from which we actually
collect data
Our Sample 25 random students
Variable Any characteristic of an individual
Explanatory Variable GPA of students
Response Variable Amount spent on shoes
The GPA explains the amount of money spent on
shoes
DATA TABLE SLIDE
GRAPH SLIDE

If the GPA
of a person
is higher,
then the
amount of
money
spent on
shoes will
increase.
 INTERPRET R AND R2 SLIDE
Correlation (r) Describes direction and strength of a
straight line relationship
Our Correlation is .091
The correlation is positive meaning as GPA increases
the amount spent on shoes increases the
correlation of .091 means the correlation is weak
meaning it is invalid
Coefficient of Determination Variation in values of x
that describe the least squares regression line
between x and y
Our Coefficient of Determination is .008 meaning any
prediction has a 0.8% variation
 PREDICTION SLIDE
Least Squares Regression Line - Line that
makes the sum of the squares of the vertical
distance as small as possible
Regression Line Equation : y = 46.213 + 3.806x
Example : y = 46.213 + 3.806(50)
y = 46.213 + 190.3 = 236.513
Our prediction has a 0.8% variation meaning it
is accurate by 0.8% meaning the prediction is
invalid
 LURKING VARIABLES
Lurking Variable Variable that has an
important effect on the relationship among
variables in a study but is not one of the
explanatory variables studied
Our Lurking Variable(s) Wealth of the
individual , age and gender
This causation is confounding, meaning it
only impacts one axis, wealth cant change
GPA, age and gender cant change GPA
 CONCLUSION SLIDE

Hypothesis If the GPA of the

person is higher, then the
amount of money spent will
increase
Hypothesis is correct with a .
091 correlation , correlation is
weak and not very accurate
although it is still positive in
direction
