Regression-gpa and startsal

Reference no: EM1397253

A university has studied the relationship between the GPA (grade point average) of its graduates and StartSal, their starting salaries (in thousands of dollars). A sample of seven graduates was randomly selected.

The data collected and output from Excel are shown below:

MKTGrad GPA StartSal (in thousands)

1 3.26 33.8

2 2.60 29.8

3 3.35 33.5

4 2.86 30.4

5 3.82 36.4

6 2.21 27.6
