Question: Assume that you have collected data on the number of applicants for a college and the fall enrollment of the college. The admissions director believes that he can predict how many folks will register in the fall by looking at how many applied. Use SPSS to determine if there is such a relationship? If so, how strong is the relationship? Can you provide the director with a formula that he can use to make predictions? Assume that 1410 apply in 1999. How many do you predict will enroll in the fall?
