Researchers conducted a study to see if improvement in students' higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS) was related to the students' GPA. Using data collected from 300 business students, the quadratic regression equation,
HOCS=−3.44+4.56(GPA)−0.67(GPA)2
was derived, where the dependent variable HOCS measured the improvement in higher-order cognitive skills, with 1 being the lowest improvement in HOCS and 5 being the highest improvement in HOCS.
A. Construct a table of predicted HOCS, using GPA equal to 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, ..., 4.0.
Round to three decimal places as needed.
Develop an estimated multiple linear regression model that could be used to predict the alumni giving rate using the graduation, % of Classes Under 20 (LT20), and Student/Faculty Ratio (SFR) as independent variables. Discuss your findings.
