1 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

3 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

4 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

5 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

8 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

9 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.

10 X Y GPA # of contacts

11 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)
