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.
