The data in this statistics midterm is derived from the Community College Survey of Student Engagement. The CCSSE provides information on student engagement, a key indicator of learning. The survey asks students questions that assess student behaviors that are correlated with student learning and student retention. The data is from question four which asked, "In your experiences at this college during the current school year, about how often have you done each of the following?" Students had the option of answering "1 = Never, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Often, 4 = Very often." The averages for COM-FSM were used as the scores in this first section of the midterm. For the following questions, the higher the score the better the student engagement. Use the numbers in the score column to answer the questions below.
