STUDY (No. of hours of study)–Independentvariable in this study, measured on ratio scale.4.

Created to conductlogisticregression.2. RES_GPA_Study: Residualsafter running a linear regression of GPA (dependent variable) onSTUDY(Independent variable). Created for computing semi-partial correlation.All the SPSS outputsare availablein the APPENDIX at the endof this document.(A)Pearson Correlation: Identify two variables for which you could calculate a Pearsoncorrelation coefficient. Describe the variables and their scale of measurement. Now, assume youconducted a Pearson correlation and came up with a significant positive or negative value.
