Impact of Hours Studied On Performance

 There is a tendency of people believing that learners have to invest more time in their studies to guarantee better grades. Consequently, most students embrace the claim and ensure they study for long hours. The time for studying helps learners understand most of the content that their instructors give them. Therefore, the proposition led to the investigation of the relationship between the time and the performance. The metric to be used in this study is the Grade Point Average. The study will analyze the information using various descriptive methods and testing of hypothesis. Eventually, it will highlight the implications of the analysis and recommendations for subsequent studies.
