Do more educated individuals lean to the liberal end of the political philosophy spectrum? Conduct a test to determine whether there is enough evidence to conclude that as education (EDUC) increases the political philosophy score (POLVIEWS) decreases. Briefly describe what the p-value of the test tells you.

If we interpret the responses to POLVIEWS (1 = Extremely liberal, 2 = Liberal, 3 = Slightly liberal, 4 = Moderate, 5 = Slightly conservative, 6 = Conservative, 7 = Extremely conservative) as an interval variable we can acquire useful information about where people stand on the liberal–conservative spectrum.
