Your computer screen has died, but fortunately you taught your computer to conduct certain statistical tests and to read you the results aloud before the screen died. You manage to get your computer to run a simple linear regression on vote counts for the Green Party's and Really Green Party's candidates for Chicago's Zookeeper (an elected position). You had your computer calculate correlation coefficients for: (1) GP votes vs RGP votes = -.832 (2) log(GP votes) vs. RGP votes = -.313 (3) log(GP votes) vs. log(RGP votes) = .122 If you are interested in just the linearity assumption of SLR, you should pick the model with the strongest (positive or negative) correlation coefficient, and thus choose model (1)
