please answer question 8
Section 2: Pearson Correlation (Ch. 14 - 14 half Your job in this section will be to find the variables that are strongly correlated with College GPA Some of these instructions are long, but it's important that you read them all The data I am giving you come from an imaginary survey of 25 students at this college. The survey contained 11 questions. Each question will become a variable in our data. These 11 variables will be represented as 11 columns, in both Excel and SPSS. Here are the imaginary survey questions--familiarize yourself with these survey questions (and the accompanying variable names) before moving on: SURVEY QUESTION (EXACT WORDING) 1. What is your name? 2. What is your gender? 3. What is your major or intended major in college? 4. What is your current college GPA? S. What was your high school GPA? 6. How many hours per week do you study for classes? 7. How many hours per week do you work at a job or jobs? & How many hours per week do you party? 9. How many hours per week do you do family responsibilities (Childcare, etc. 12 10. How many hours per week do you spend consuming media games TV etc.)? 11. Ona 1 to 10 scale, how motivated are you to get good grades in college?

So you should see 25 rows of data. There's aboa first row with the variable names so there are 2 rows total b. Recall that our survey asked 11 questions, and that each question is a separate variable, so you should see 11 columns in the spreadsheet If this all looks good, then save the Excel file to the DESKTOP Click on File > Save As > Desktop After saving it to the desktop, close the Excel 1.
