Question

5 multiple choice 4 points select the most appropriate response. a university statistician found that the correlation between college gpa and starting salary was 0.12. based on this you would tell the university that: gpa is a good predictor of starting salary. students with low gpas will have the lowest starting salaries. gpa is a poor predictor of starting salary. students with high gpas will have the highest starting salaries.

Explanation:

The correlation coefficient \(r = 0.12\) is close to \(0\). A correlation coefficient close to \(0\) indicates a weak linear relationship. So, GPA does not have a strong linear association with starting salary, meaning it is a poor predictor.

Answer:

GPA is a poor predictor of starting salary.
