A research study showed that 7 percent of “A” students smoke, while nearly 50 percent of “D” students do. (a) List in rank order six factors that you think affect grades. Is smoking on your list? (b) If smoking is not a likely cause of poor grades, can you suggest reasons why these results were observed? (c) Assuming these statistics are correct, would “D” students who give up smoking improve their grades? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

The factors that can affect grades include:

  • Relationship with teachers.
  • Interest level.
  • Attendance.
  • Quality of the teacher.
  • Ability level.
  • Parent's education

Since smoking is not a likely cause of poor grades, the reason why these results were observed will be that those good students can make better decisions about their health.

The "D” students who give up smoking will not improve their grades since the causation isn't shown.

It should be noted that several factors such as interest level, attendance, quality of the teacher, etc can affect the grade of a person.
