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 =
