Question:
It is assumed that standardized test scores should be correlated with students classroom performance. One would expect that students who consistently perform well in the classroom (tests, quizzes, etc.) would also perform well on a standardized test (0 - 100 with 100 indicating high achievement). A teacher decides to examine this hypothesis. At the end of the academic year, she collects the following data for her (small) class:
