Suppose you are the Umoja Community Program Coordinator at West College. You are interested in the effectiveness of "learning communities" as it pertains to Umoja scholars and their overall grade point average (GPA). Knowing that supplemental instruction tends to be associated with higher academic success, you believe that the more learning communities an Umoja student attends, the higher their overall GPA will be. To test this, you count how many weekly learning communities an Umoja student attends over the duration of a 18 week academic semester.
The following data represents the number of learning communities attended for a random sample of 24 Umoja students at West College.

2 | 11 |
