Students who demonstrate academic success during their undergraduate studies surpass in the graduate program. The students performing academically favorable during their undergraduate courses tend to adapt better to the Master’s program because they have good study habits in addition to discipline. Nowadays the traditional MBA student takes one or two courses at a time, during the evening or weekends. Some students support their family while working full time. An individual can expect students who achieve their bachelor’s degree perform better in their master’s degree. After conducting a correlation and regression analysis using a .05 significance level. One can conclude there is sufficient evidence of a correlation between the BS GPA’s and the MBA GPA’s. A person will answer four questions providing affirmation to the data in addition to rejecting the null hypothesis confirming that a correlation exists. The first thing a person must do is identify the two scale variables they want to test, to …show more content…
The emphasis is given to the Least Squares Method repeatedly used in forecasting. The magic is in testing for a relationship between scale variables plus not knowing the strength of the association, but rather the ability to predict (Mirabella, 2011). Predicted Y = a +bX. The data viewing of the BS GPA vs. MBA GPA one sees MBA GPA = -0.057+0.987. One can make an educated statement, if a BS student has a 3.50 GPA, then the MBA GPA is predicted to be 3.397 with a marginal error of 0.233. Nevertheless, for a 3.50 GPA a person is 95% confident that the GPA will be 3.397 give or take + 0.2333 (i.e., between 3.16 and 3.63). Acknowledgment of the regression equation gives support in forecasting solidifying the correlation result in conjunction with the correlation
