The SAT and the ACT are the two major standardized tests that colleges use to evaluate candidates. Most students take just one of these tests. However, some students take both. The data data42.datgives the scores of 60 students who did this. How can we relate the two tests?
(a) Plot the data with SAT on the x axis and ACT on the
y axis. Describe the overall pattern and any unusual
observations.
(b) Find the least-squares regression line and draw it on your
plot. Give the results of the significance test for the slope.
(Round your regression slope and intercept to three decimal places,
your test statistic to two decimal places, and your
P-value to four decimal places.)
ACT = | + (SAT) |
t = | |
P = |
(c) What is the correlation between the two tests? (Round your
answer to three decimal places.)

s. QUESTION 2 Use minitab Suppose a sample of 20 students were given a diagnostic test before studying a particular module and then again after completing the module. We want to find out if, in general, our teaching leads to improvements in students' knowledge/skills (i.e. test scores). We can use the results from our sample of students to draw conclusions about the impact of this module in general. 92.MPJ 1) check assumption (fort show your correct 3) find the t-value...
