**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

*. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).

We can proceed with the multi-factor analysis because all correlation

coefficients are significant with at least 0.05 level that is there is a
correlation between each pair of the variables involved in the analysis.
Question 3
We run now a factorial analysis on the variables X1, X2, X3 and X4.. The
School variable just bears an illustrative role. Interpret the first factor F1.
