Researchers from the Lubin School of Business atPlace University in New York City conducted a study onInternet-Supported courses. In one part of the study, fourinternet-supported courses. Four numerical variables werecollected on 108 students in an introductry management course thatmet once a week for an entire semester. One variablecollected was Hit consistency. To measure hit consistency,the researchers did the followings. If a student didnot visit the internet site between classes, the studentwas given a zero for that time period. If thestudent visited the Internet site one or more times betweenclasses, the student was given a one for that time period. Since there were 13 time periods, a student score on hitconsistency could range from 0 to 13. The other threevariables inckuded the student's course average, the studentcumulative GPA , and total number of hits the student had on theinternet site supporting the course. The following tablegives the correlation coeffiecient for all pairs ofvariables. Note that correlations marked with an *aresstatistically significant using α=0.01
