An observation I can say for the first data is that as weight increases cholesterol level
increases as well. By looking at the data we can say that female tends to have lower weight, and
lower cholesterol. On the other hand, males tend to weigh more and have higher cholesterol. On
the second data, we can infer that students who exercise more tend to obtain a lower cholesterol
level than students who work out less often. It is not really clear but for some students who work
out more they usually obtain a lower weigh.

1) What kinds of things does this instrument measure? Why are they important?
This questionnaire measures college activities, conversations regarding topics and the
content, reading and writing involvement, opinions about your college or university, the
college environment and estimate of gains referring to your growth. I feel like these
questions are important because they get to understand how students learn and how they
spend their time during their college careers.
2) How could this information be used for a single institution and for research purposes?
This will help the college better serve their students and therefore might help their retention
rate as well as the resources they can offer. For a research purpose, it can be helpful because
they can compare it to older research done and see if the education experience has been
improving, or if students are more satisfied with their decision on pursuing a higher
education.
3) How is learned measured?
There is about 26 ways how learned was measured in this questionnaire. From asking how
much was learned by acquiring knowledge and skills applicable to a specific job or type of
job to writing clearly and effectively. They also measured by asking how much was learned
on developing the ability to get along with different kinds of people, understanding the nature
of science and experimentation to developing an understanding and enjoyment of art, music,
and drama.
4) How is involvement measured?
Involvement is measured by how often students were engaged in college activities. The
questions were referring the library, computer and information technology, course learning,
writing experiences, experiences with faculty, campus facilities, clubs and organizations,
personal experiences, student acquaintances, and scientific and quantitative experiences.
Within those categories there were more than 5 sub-questions regarding how often students
engaged in such activities or took part in a center.

4) Summary what this date tells about student relationships with other students, faculty,
and administrators

From the data above, we can say that student relationships with faculty members are pretty much
approachable, helpful, understanding and encouraging. Most students rated this with a 6/7. The
mean was a 5.23 so overall we can say faculty members are somewhat approachable. The student
relationships with other students are somewhat friendly, supportive and a feeling of sense of
belonging. The mean is 5.42. Finally the student relationships with administrative personnel is a
bit flexible, considerate and flexible. The mean was 4.65, so as you can see it is the lowest
compared to the other two. Students feel more comfortable approaching and building
relationships with other students. Also there is a bit of a difference between the age groups when
analyzing their students relationships.
