Question
"Here importance is calculated on beta coefficients and not on p-values. The hint is given in the question, the way the question has been asked. ( ie.questoin talks about differences in scale)
Female has highest beta coefficient in the list, hence notwithstanding scale of variables Female hs the most important ( see unstanadrized coefficients)
Math score is the most important, as it has the highest Beta coefficient amognst all variables"
**Follow up question: Based on the data provided the female coefficient is a negative number. So wouldn't this mean that the number is the smallest since it is a negative value. For the second part, Math score has the highest coefficient in both standardized and unstandardized so which coefficient would we factor in and why?

Hi, the previous answer is right.
The Followup question' answer:
We see the absolute magnitude ( bereft of the sign ) of the coefficient. So, Math doesn't have the highest unstandardized coefficient, Female has( although it is negattive, it has the highest magnitude). The importance is therefore decided by the magnitude of the coefficient (both unstandardized and standardized)
