Question 1: Correlation Coefficient Calculation

We need to calculate the correlation coefficient r using the formula:

r=n∑(xy)−∑x∑y¿ √ ❑ [n∑x2−(∑x)2][n∑y2−(∑y)2]

Given Data:

Age of Car (x) Resale Value (y)


2 18
4 15
5 11
6 8
8 7
11 5

Steps:

1. Create necessary columns for x2, y2, and xy.


x2
2. Calculate the sums: ∑x, ∑y, ∑ , and ∑xy.
3. Substitute into the formula to find r.

X Y X2 Y2 xy
2 18 4 324 36
4 15 16 225 60
5 11 25 121 55
6 8 36 64 48
8 7 64 49 56
11 5 121 25 55
∑x=36, ∑y=64, ∑x2=266, ∑y2=808, ∑xy=310
Substituting into the formula:

r=6(310)−(36)(64)/
√ ❑[6(266)−(36)2][6(808)−(64)2]

r=1860−2304/
√ ❑[1596−1296][4848−4096]

r= −444/√ ❑ 300⋅752 = −444/474.18 ≈−0.937

Interpretation:

The correlation coefficient r ≈ −0.94 indicates a strong negative relationship between the age of a
car and its resale value. As the car's age increases, the resale value decreases significantly.

Question 2: Frequency Distribution Table

Steps:

1. Define class intervals: Start at 0–0.9 and increment by 1.0.


2. Count the number of observations in each interval.

Class Interval Frequency


0.0–0.9 5
1.0–1.9 6
2.0–2.9 8
3.0–3.9 10
4.0–4.9 9
5.0–5.9 7

Frequency Distribution Table:


Class Interval Midpoint (x) Frequency (y) fx
0.0–0.9 0.45 5 2.25
1.0–1.9 1.45 6 8.70
2.0–2.9 2.45 8 19.60
3.0–3.9 3.45 10 34.50
4.0–4.9 4.45 9 40.05
5.0–5.9 5.45 7 38.15

Interpretation:

The frequency distribution table categorizes the given data into 6 intervals, showing how
frequently data points occur in each range.
