Question description
Assume
that you are interested in the relationship between Graduate Record
Examinations (GRE) scores (the total of all subtests) and graduate school grade
point averages (GPAs) at the end of their graduate programs. Conveniently, you have access to the GRE
scores and GPAs of a large number of graduate students who have graduated from
the electrical engineering master’s program in an Ivy League university between
2000 and 2013. The Pearson correlation
coefficient did not reach significance. What can you conclude from the data
analysis? Can the result be generalized to all graduate students in electrical
engineering master’s programs across the United States? Why or why not.
