The standardized regression coefficient (also known as beta coefficient) is obtained by standardizing both the independent and dependent variables and then calculating the slope of the regression line. This allows for easier comparison of the relative impact of different independent variables on the dependent variable, as well as comparison of the strength of the relationship between different dependent variables and the same independent variable. None of the other answer choices accurately describe this concept.
