Question of Study:Question of Study:
• The question we asked is whether or not the number of hours a student works at a job has any effects on the grades they receive in school. Our belief is that the more hours somebody works, the lower their G.P.A. will be.

Conclusion:Conclusion:
• There is no connection between the number of hours a student works at a job and the number of credit hours they take at school. The numbers seemed to be pretty evenly distributed.

Conclusion:Conclusion:
• The number of hours worked didn’t seem to have an effect on a student’s G.P.A. in our sample. The grades students received seem to be just about equally distributed, no matter the amount of hours they worked at their jobs. We believe there are a large number of outliers in this study, it would need to go into more depth to come to a valuable conclusion.
