The Big Idea
Plot a Scattergram

Let's say we made a scattergram of Height versus GPA. There's no relation there that we know of. So for any Height - people can have good or bad GPA's. For any SAT, our best guess would be the mean of the GPA's, hence, the horizontal line. I'd guess 2.0 for your GPA - whether you are tall or short.
