Over the past few years the percentage of students who leave Lakeland College at the end of the first

year has increased. Last year Lakeland started a voluntary one-week orientation program to help first

year students adjust to campus life. If Lakeland is able to show that the orientation program has a

positive effect on retention, they will consider making the program a requirement for all first-year

students. Lakeland's administration also suspects that students with lower GPAs have a higher

probability of leaving Lakeland at the end of the first year. In order to investigate the relation of these

variables to retention, Lakeland selected a random sample of 100 students from last year's entering

class. The data are contained in the data set named Lakeland. The dependent variable was coded as

y=1 if the student returned to Lakeland for the sophomore year and y=0 if not. The two independent

variables are:

21 = GPA at the end of the first semester 0 if the student did not attend the orientation program 1 if the student attended the orientation program
