The University Secretary wants to determine how University grade point average, GPA (highest being 4.0) of a sample of students from the University depends on a student’s high school GPA (HS), age of a student (A), achievement test score (AS), average number of lectures skipped each week (S), gender of a student (where M=1 if a student is male or 0 otherwise), computer or PC ownership of a student (where PC=1 if a student owns a computer or 0 otherwise), the means of transport to school (drive, bicycle or walk; where D=1 if a student drives to campus or 0 otherwise, B=1 if a student bicycles to campus or 0 otherwise), and finally, the subject major of the student (finance, human resource, marketing and accounting; where F=1 if a student majors in finance or 0 otherwise, HR=1 if a student majors in human resource or 0 otherwise, MR=1 if a student majors in marketing or 0 otherwise). Use the correlation matrix and dummy regression output to answer the questions.

  1. The University Secretary wants to determine how University grade point average, GPA (highest being 4.0) of a sample of students from the University depends on a student’s high school GPA (HS), age of a student (A), achievement test score (AS), average number of lectures skipped each week (S), gender of a student (where M=1 if a student is male or 0 otherwise), computer or PC ownership of a student (where PC=1 if a student owns a computer or 0 otherwise), the means of transport to school (drive, bicycle or walk; where D=1 if a student drives to campus or 0 otherwise, B=1 if a student bicycles to campus or 0 otherwise), and finally, the subject major of the student (finance, human resource, marketing and accounting; where F=1 if a student majors in finance or 0 otherwise, HR=1 if a student majors in human resource or 0 otherwise, MR=1 if a student majors in marketing or 0 otherwise). Use the correlation matrix and dummy regression output to answer the questions.
