Question

Two variables that likely matter a lot in determining the grade students earn on their final are the amount of time spent studying and the amount of sleep the night before the test. We are going to explore this relationship with the following data Study Hours Sleep Hours Grade 78 91 68 52 100 82 89 10 13 8 10 20 15 17 Suppose you wanted to know whether or not being an honors student matters for explaining exam grades. How would you include this variable in the regression? (Note: l'm asking literally what the variable would look like since the data is qualitative)

Explanation / Answer

We can coding for honors students as 1 and for less honors or no honors students as 0

Then used 1 and 0 these numerical values inteate of honor and not honor respectivelly.

now you can run the multiple linear regression for finding the effect of the X's on the Y.
