The question is whether the correlation coefficient is closer to positive or negative one.

I dunno, can't do biostats. The one calculation problem on the USMLE was a biostats problem, I used the wrong equation.

the definition of banter via urbandictionary.com

1. banter


Supple term used to describe activities or chat that is playful, intelligent and original. Banter is something you either posses or lack, there is no middle ground. It is also something inherently English, stemming as it does from traditional hi-jinks and tomfoolery of British yesteryear.
"You, sir, are drunk"

"Maybe so but you are ugly and I will be sober in the morning"

"Good banter sir"
