Linear regression model

Based on relation of marks obtained by students on time spent and

number of courses chosen.
Data set used:
• 100 students
• Marks of each student
• Time every student spent.
• Number of courses chosen by each student.

Dependent variable
Marks obtained by every student.
Independent variable
Total time spent and number of courses chosen.
Sample of the data set Summary output
Overview of data set
Correlation matrix
There is a strong positive correlation
between the time spent studying and
the marks obtained.
There is a moderate positive correlation
between the number of courses taken
and the marks obtained.
These findings suggest that investing
more time in studying is strongly
associated with better academic
performance (higher marks), and taking
more courses also has a positive but
somewhat weaker relationship with
higher marks.

CONCLUSION
According to the given data set and information provided in it we can
come to a conclusion that students have scored an average of 24.4
marks while studying an average of 4.077 hrs and choosing 5 courses.
As we can see the trend that with increase in the value of independent
variable(time studied and number of courses), dependent variable
(marks) also increases.
