It Is Believed That GPA (Grade Point Average $\text {Regressing GPA on \(\mathrm { ACT }\)}$

TABLE 13-8
It is believed that GPA (grade point average, based on a four point scale) should have a positive linear relationship with ACT scores. Given below is the Excel output from regressing GPA on ACT scores using a data set of 8 randomly chosen students from a Big-Ten university.
$\text {Regressing GPA on \(\mathrm { ACT }\) }$
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Regressing GPA on } \mathrm { ACT }\\\begin{array} { l c } \hline & \text { Regression Statistics } \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.7598 \\\text { R Square } & 0.5774 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.5069 \\\text { Standard E rror } & 0.2691 \\\text { Observations } & 8\end{array}\end{array}$$
