1. Find the lines of regression and coefficient of correlation for the following data
Dec 09-8M(M)
X 65 66 67 67 68 69 70 72
Y 67 68 65 66 72 72 69 71
2. From the following data, find the equation of line of regression of y on x and estimate
the most probable value of y when x = 9
X 3 6 5 4 4 6 7 5
Y 3 2 3 5 3 6 6 4
3. The height in cms of fathers (x) and of the sons (y) are given below
X 165 160 170 163 173 158 178 168 173 170 175 180
Y 173 168 173 165 175 168 173 165 180 170 173 178
Estimate the height of the son if the height of the father is 172 cms. Also estimate the height of the
father if the height of the son is 173 cms. What is the coefficient of correlation between the height
of fathers and sons
4. If x = y and the angle between the lines of regression is tan −1 3 , find the coefficient
of correlation.
Find x, y and r.
9. The following data regarding the heights (y) and weights (x) of 100 college students are
given as follows
x = 15000, x 2
= 2272500, y = 6800, y 2
= 463025, xy = 1022250
Find the coefficient of correlation between height and weight. Also
10. Following table shows the final grades in algebra and physics obtained by 10 students
selected at random from a large group of students. Find two regression equations. If a
student receives a grade of 75 in algebra, what is his expected grade in physics? If a
student receives a grade of 95 in physics, what is his expected grade in algebra?
