Question - The data set below shows midterm scores from an Introductory Statistics course.
a) Fit a model predicting the second midterm score from the first.
b) Comment on the model you found, including a discussion of the assumptions and conditions for regression. Is the coefficient for the slope statistically significant?
c) A student comments that because the P-value for the slope is very small, Midterm 2 is very well predicted from Midterm 1. So, he reasons, next term the professor can give just one midterm. What do you think?
