1.15 GPA and study hours: A survey was conducted on 193 Duke University undergraduates who took an introductory statistics course in 2012. Among many other questions, this survey asked them about their GPA, which can range between 0 and 4 points, and the number of hours they spent studying per week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between these two variables. a) What is the explanatory variable? GPA number of study hours per week b) What is the response variable? GPA number of study hours per week c) Describe the relationship between the variables. weak negative weak positive strong negative strong positive no relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

A

According to the exercise we can say that the explanatory variable will be hours / weeks of study.

The response variable is GPA.

B

We definitely found that between the variables there is a weak or fragile relationship, neither negative nor positive nor linear.

C)

1.Observational study, since we observe that the only variables that will influence the results of the study are the observations of the students

2.No. This study is observational and its characteristics are not sufficient to conclude that studying more hours leads to obtaining a higher GPA.

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
