enrolled in the Statistics courses offered at South Plains College
for the fall semester of 2015. A random sample of 14 students was
taken, and we recorded each
student’s age, final average, gender, # hours worked per week,
race, and the attendance record (# of classes not attended this
semester). Use the results from the following table to answer all
