They want to determine if different study habits affect test performance. The students note down the study hours of each student and their corresponding test scores. They also survey students about their study methods, such as reading notes, practicing problems, or group study. The students speculate that students who engage in active study methods, such as practicing problems, will perform better on tests compared to those who passively review notes.
