Analyzing Student Grades Student performance in academic courses is a topic of constant interest to educators and researchers. Understanding the factors that influence student success can help educators develop more effective teaching strategies and provide targeted support to students who need it most. This analysis explores the relationships between the following variables: Quiz 1: Continuous (Number of correct answers) GPA: Continuous (Previous grade point average) Total: Continuous (Total number of points earned in class) Final: Continuous (Number of correct answers) Research Question Is there a significant positive correlation between performance on Quiz 1 (X) and performance on the Final Exam (Y)? Null Hypothesis (H) ₀There is no significant correlation between performance on Quiz 1 and performance on the Final Exam. (Pearson’s r = 0) Alternate Hypothesis (H) ₁There is a significant positive correlation between performance on Quiz 1 and performance on the Final Exam. (Pearson’s r > 0) Normality Assumption The table provided below shows skewness and kurtosis values for each variable. Skewness values for all variables are slightly negative. Kurtosis values are mixed. Quiz 1 and Total have slightly positive kurtosis which indicate a slightly peaked distribution. GPA and Final have slightly negative kurtosis which indicate a flatter distribution than normal. . . . . . . .
