A peer of yours, who is a major in another social science, says he is not interested in the regression slope and/or intercept. Instead he only cares about correlations. For example, in the testscore/student-teacher ratio regression, he claims to get all the information he needs from the negative correlation coefficient corr(X,Y)=-0.226. What response might you have for your peer?
