Answer to Question 1

They find the correlation between scholastic aptitudes tests and high school academic data and performance in college. They develop a prediction equation and use this to predict how students will perform at the college.

Answer to Question 2

Because so many of the variables of interest in educational research are attribute variables. For example, gender, race, social class, grade level, nationality and home background (one- or two-parents) are attribute variables.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
