Many universities use SAT scores as one of the criteria for admitting new students. But, are SAT scores god predictors of success in college? To answer this question, a researcher looked at a random sample of SAT scores for students admitted to a local university and their GPA's after completing 60 credits at the university.

Use the datafile "Ch11_SatScore.xlsx".

A scatter plot by selecting "GPA" as Y-variable and "Sat Score" as the X-variable. Be sure to include appropriate labels (title, axis labels, and a footnote with your name and section).

Save the graph as "Fig1.png" in your preferred local folder.

Use the scatterplot you created toanswer the following question.

Which one of the following statements is true?

	I.	GPA is negatively related to Sat Score.
	II.	The scatterplot looks like a random scatter of points with little to no correlation between SAT scores and GPA's.
	III.	GPA is strongly related to SAT Score.
	IV.	None of the above.

Use data file "Ch11_SatScore.xlsx".

Calculate the correlation coefficient, r (round to THREE decimal places).
