Use the following to answer the questions below:
Data were collected on GPA and number of Facebook friends for students in a small statistics class. Some summary statistics, partial output from the regression analysis, and a scatterplot of the data (with regression line) are provided. Assume that students in this class are typical of all students at the university.
Use three decimal places when reporting the results from any calculations, unless otherwise specified.
Variable | Mean | StDev | Minimum | Maximum |
GPA | 3.2067 | 0.4118 | 2.4000 | 3.9500 |
FacebookFriends | 677.9 | 307.2 | 185.0 | 1500.0 |
The regression equation is GPA = 3.830 - 0.000919 FacebookFriends
Source | DF | SS | MS | F | P |
