Question

Use the options below to fill in the blanks so as best to

interpret the slope of the professor's regression line:
For each additional point a student gets on their [--A--],
they can expect their [--B--]to be about [--C--] points
higher, on average.
Note: The options below are randomized, so [--A--] may
come after [--B--], etc.
Question 20 options:
[--A--]
[--B--]
[--C--]
1.
homework grade
2.
final course grade
3.
21.839
4.
0.724

Answer 1

A: Homework Grade (option 1)

B: Final Course Grade (option 2)

C: 0.724 (option 4)

Explanation:

It is most likely reasonable to assume that final course grade depends on homework grade; after all, you only get your final course grade after completing all your required homework. We then have that A is your homework grade, and B is your final course grade.

I am assuming that the grading scale is out of 100. It would then be very unreasonable (but good for your GPA ;)) if for every extra point that you receive on a homework assignment, your grade would increase by more than 20%. The answer for part C is then most likely 0.724, which is a much more reasonable increase in course grade per additional homework point.
