You have been given a data set giving a small sample of college freshman majoring in computer science. Your job is to use this data to see if high school scores or SAT scores can be used to predict the GPA, an indicator or success in college, of future college freshman majoring in computer science:

Using the data:

1. Determine how well a future student's SAT score in mathematics can be used to predict their success as a computer science major by answering the following questions:

1. What equation would you use to determine their success? Explain what your variables represent.
2. Using the equation you found in part a, how would you predict the success of an incoming freshman computer science major who has a 600 on the math part of the SAT?
3. How accurate is the answer you gave in the previous question? Explain (justify) your answer.

2. Does the data give a "better predictor" of success as a computer science major than the SAT math score?

1. If so, explain why. (the answer is yes. You must find the "better predictor" and explain why it is better.)
2. Using your "better predictor", what would be the GPA of a future student who got a 600 on both the SAT math and verbal, and a 6 on all of the High School scores?
