The Relationship Between Computer Ownership and Student Achievement

Abstract

Based on the research that has already been done by the Prospera program, we developed 4 statistic models to investigate the relationship between math, or Spanish, and other variables provided in a child's life. In the first model, we used regression model to see the children's 9th grade math score alone with other variables. Same with second model but with Spanish score instead of math score. And in the third and fourth model, we take out the family income variable to see its impact on children's academic score. Then we will conclude the effects of different variables based on our results from different models.
