The data set that we will be using in this in-class activity is called “High School and Beyond” and contains information about high school student achievement scores on math, science, reading, writing, and social studies tests. The data set contains information about [latex]200[/latex] high school students and [latex]10[/latex] variables for each student.

The data collected about each student includes the following: identification number, whether the student identifies as male or female, race, socio-economic status, school type, program type, and scores from tests of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.

Research Question: Is there a relationship between science scores for high school students and math and reading scores?
