Phone Contacts Vs GPA Is there a Correlation between the number of Contacts in someone's phone and their G.P.A?
2
Intro We felt that the number of phone contacts vs. GPA was a unique comparison We felt that any correlation would be interesting to see; even if there was no correlation

Univariate Analysis of GPA Mean X= 3.45 SX=.476 Outlier test= Q3-Q1 * 1.5=.7125 Outlier= Outlier= 2.74 <X<4.16 Outliers are 1.8, 2.5, 2.7 Outliers are 1.8, 2.5, 2.7 Min x 1.8 Q13.225 Q23.52 Q33.7 Max x 4.04

Univariate Analysis of Contacts Mean X= 93.576 SX= 60.597 Outlier test= Q3-Q1 * 1.5= 158.25 Outlier= Outlier=-64.674<X<251.826 No Outliers. No Outliers. Min x 20 Q134.5 Q290 Q3140 Max x 228

Explanatory & Response Variable Explanatory = GPA Response= # of Phone Contacts The GPA of a student affects the amount of contacts they have in their phone because people with higher GPA’s spend more time studying, and therefore less time with friends The GPA of a student affects the amount of contacts they have in their phone because people with higher GPA’s spend more time studying, and therefore less time with friends

Variation Explained variation = sum (ŷ – y-mean) 2 = 25453.37673 Unexplained variation = sum (y – ŷ) 2 =92048.68388 Total variation = sum (y – y-mean) 2 =117502.0606

r = -.4654, r 2 =.2166 or 21.7% c.v=.335 so r>c.v Regression line – Y= 297.9936 + -59.309x There is a Negative correlation between the GPA and number of contacts. The lower the GPA= More contacts; Higher GPA= Less contacts.

Histogram cont’d Both histograms have an equal distribution For GPA: Outliers are 1.8, 2.5, 2.7 For GPA: Outliers are 1.8, 2.5, 2.7 For Contacts: No Outliers For Contacts: No Outliers Conforms with Empirical Rule Test
12
Empirical Rule Test Empirical Rule Test for GPA: 68% of the data falls between the values 3.591 – 0.3445 = 3.2465 3.591 + 0.3445 = 3.9355 95% of the data falls between the values 3.591 – 2(0.3445) = 2.902 3.591 + 2(3.445) = 4.28 99.7% of the data falls between the values 3.591 – 3(0.3445) = 2.5575 3.591 + 3(0.3445) = 4.6245 Empirical Rule Test for Current Events Scores: 68% of the data falls between the values 0.6445 – 0.2896 = 0.3549 0.6445 + 0.2896 = 0.9341 95% of the data falls between the values 0.6445 – 2(0.2896) = 0.0653 0.6445 + 2(0.2896) = 1.2237 99.7% of the data falls between the values 0.6445 – 3(0.2896) = -0.2243 0.6445 + 3(0.2896) = 1.5133

15
95% Prediction Interval (cont’d) y - E < y < y + E ^^ 78.551 – 68.19 < y < 78.511 + 68.19 10.361 < y < 146.741 There is a very large prediction interval, due in part to the small r and r 2 values.
16
Residuals This shows linear correlation because the plots are randomly scattered and there is no patter on the residual graph
17
Conclusion In conclusion we found out that there was a weak correlation on students GPA and the amount of contacts they have in their phone. Since it was so weak it is only true a very little % of the time. 4.9 GPA- 4 contacts (Mom, Dad, Home, and Steve)
