Question 35

Essay

As part of a study at a large university, data were collected on n=224n = 224 freshmen computer science (CS) majors in a particular year. The researchers were interested in modeling yy , a student's grade point average (GPA) after three semesters, as a function of the following independent variables (recorded at the time the students enrolled in the university):
x1=x _ { 1 } = average high school grade in mathematics (HSM)
x2=x _ { 2 } = average high school grade in science (HSS)
x3=x _ { 3 } = average high school grade in English (HSE)
x4=x _ { 4 } = SAT mathematics score (SATM)
x5=x _ { 5 } = SAT verbal score (SATV)
A first-order model was fit to the data with the following results:
