Solution

Explain the partial correlation R (GMAT UGPA. SEX EXPER) =0.8089. What does this value stand for? Give your words

Partial correlation is the relationship between two variables while controlling for a third variable. The purpose is to find the unique variance between two variables while eliminating the variance from a third variable.

In this case partial correlation R between GMAT and UGPA while controlling SEX and EXPER.

That is by controlling the effect of SEX and EXPER, the correlation between GMAT and UGPA is 0.8089.
