This article explains an experiment that describes the relationship between college students who work and how they spend their time studying and working. More students are coming into college unprepared and a study shown in this article that more students are spending more time studying than working. Analyzing the correlation between students working hours and their study hours, may give us an indication of how well they are doing in school, which in turn, influences their success in college. Sarath Nonis and Gail Hudon used lots of statistical analysis and terms to help explain their experiment (for people who may be unfamiliar with the terms. "To determine the bivariate relationships that the plausible predictor (independent) variables had with the academic success (dependent) variables, we calculated Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients" (154). Here the author uses statistic terms to describe what we were studying, to help us (the reader) understand the graph and table they later showed us. The article provides numerous amounts of data and information that will be great to use for my research paper in the future.
