Chapter 4: Q. 4.67 (page 175)

Study Time and Score. The negative relation between study time and test score found in Exercise 4.63has been discovered by many investigators. Provide a possible explanation for it.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Stress will be experienced by the investigators.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The purpose of this exercise is to identify the reason why the relationship between the study time and the test score in Exercise 4.63 was negative.

02

Explanation

According to the regression equation for Exercise 4.63, the time spent on study (x)will predict the student's score(y), but the time spent on studying is,

y^=94.8669-0.8456x

The students will be stressed if they study longer. But stress could cause them to score low on tests.
