  1. If Mele earned a total Raw score of 500 out of 800 possible, on the ACT test given as one of the requirements for entrance into the Community College, and she was interested in Predicting her Algebra Grade at the end of her first Term in the Advanced Algebra Course.  With the following information known from the past years Algebra classes,

ACT  Mean, X=400.0

Algebra Mean  Y = 230.0

r = .14

SX  = 80

SY =  .20

  1. Following the equation procedure (^Y = bX + c) for solving the predicted ^Y, solve for prediction of her Algebra grade for the Term represented by ^Y (30 pts)
  2. Which of the following correlation coefficient indicates the strongest relationship? (a) .55  (b) .10  (c) .1 (d) negative .77 (10 pts)
  3. A relationship is Low to moderate, depicts which of these: (a) perfect (b) positive, (c) perfect negative, (d), none of these (10pts)
