14.11 Living on campus. A February 2, 2008, article in the Columbus Dispatch reported a study on the distances students lived from campus and average GPA. Here is a summary of the results:
Residence | Avg. GPA |
Residence hall | 3.33 |
Walking distance | 3.16 |
Near campus, long walk or short drive |
3.12 |
Within the county, not near campus |

Based on these data, is the association between the distance a student lives from campus and average GPA positive, negative, or near 0?
