An analyst believes that incoming GPA, the number of hours spent on Facebook per week, and upperclassman status can predict scores. Data is collected for 260 students. Students’ incoming GPA and the average number of hours spent on Facebook each week is recorded. For Academic Standing, data was included based on the number of years of college already completed  (3 = senior, 2 = junior, 1 = sophomore , 0 = freshmen). A regression is performed, and the results of the regression are in Table 1.
