AIM:
My aim is to find out if there exists a linear correlation between 'Sleep Deprivation' and 'Exam Grade'.
A survey was conducted between 12 students on how many hours they slept before a particular exam and their respective grades scored in that exam. Many students had stayed up late several nights before the exam in order to 'cram' for the exam. The average hours of sleep per student were noted and a 'sleep deprivation' index was calculated for each student and plotted against their exam grade:
Student SET 1
(X)
Sleep Deprivation SET 2
(Y)
Exam Grade

PRESENTING:
[Please refer to the attachment 'Solution.xlsx', Sheet 1]
ANALYSIS:
[Please refer to the attachment 'Solution.xlsx', Regression Analysis]
On the x-axis, the known or the independent variable (Sleep Deprivation) is plotted and along the y axis the unknown or the dependent variable (Exam Grade) is plotted.
In regression analysis, if all the points lie exactly on the regression line, then we get a correlation ...
