Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial slopes in a multiple regression equation are analogous to the partial correlation coefficient. The partial correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables while holding constant the effects of other variables. Similarly, the partial slopes in a multiple regression equation show the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable while controlling for the effects of other independent variables. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.
