Research shows that there is a positive correlation between GPA in high school (Variable A) and GPA in the first year of college (Variable B). Please answer the following questions in complete sentences, and include the appropriate letter before each answer. You will lose half credit if you do not follow these directions. Given that A and B are correlated: a. It is possible that GPA in high school (Variable A) causes GPA in the first year of college (Variable B). What could explain why GPA in high school affects (i.e., causes) GPA in college)? It is not possible for GPA in the first year of college to cause GPA in high school because college happens after high school, and something that comes later can't cause something that happened earlier (except in science fiction). b. It is possible that another variable (besides A and B) is responsible for the correlation between A and B. What would this other variable be called (i.e., what's the special, general name for a variable that causes two other variables and is therefore responsible for those other two variables being correlated with each other. c. Assuming that the type of variable described in Part B does cause both GPA in high school and GPA in the first year of college, what could that variable be specifically in this situation? Explain how this specific variable would cause GPA in high school and cause GPA in first year of college.
