Fifty University students are randomly chosen from the college campus. Their physical fitness routines and academic performance will be assessed. They are asked to maintain a diary over a semester to record their physical activity every week. At the end of this semester, their GPA is recorded as well. The resulting information is categorized per students into two variables: physical activity and semester’s GPA. The primary interest of the research is to understand if physical activity promotes better academic performance.
