Question: Grades? The professor teaching the Introductory Statistics class discussed in Exercise wonders whether performance on homework can accurately predict midterm scores.

a) To investigate it, she fits a regression of the sum of the two midterms scores on homework scores. Fit the regression model.

b) Comment on the model including a discussion of the assumptions and conditions for regression. Is the coefficient for the slope "statistically significant"?

c) Do you think she can accurately judge a student's performance without giving the midterms? Explain.

a) Fit a model predicting the second midterm score from the first.

b) Comment on the model you found, including a discussion of the assumptions and conditions for regression. Is the coefficient for the slope statistically significant?

c) A student comments that because the P-value for the slope is very small, Midterm 2 is very well predicted from Midterm 1. So, he reasons, next term the professor can give just one midterm. What do you think?
