1. Conduct the Homework analysis from this chapter yourself.

2. Conduct a similar analysis using the NELS data set. Try regressing FFUGrad (GPA in 10th Grade) on BYParEd (Parents’ Highest Level of Education) and F1S36A2 (Time Spent on Homework out of School). Be sure to check descriptive statistics. Notice the scales for the independent variables. The dependent variable is the average of respondents’ Grades in English, math, science, and social studies; for each of these subjects, the scale ranges from 1 = mostly below D to 8 = mostly A’s.

3. Interpret the results of the regression in Exercise 2. Should you interpret the
b’s or the b’s? Why would it be inappropriate to compare these results statistically with those presented in this chapter? Qualitatively, are the results similar to those presented with our simulated data?
