Given a bivariate data:
X 2 6 4 3 2 2 8 4
Y 7 2 1 1 2 3 2 6

a) Fit the regression line of Y on X and hence predict Y, if X = 20

b) Fit the regression line of X on Y and hence predict X, if Y = 5

COEFFICIENTS METHOD
PROBLEM: 1
Find the regression equations by taking deviations of items from the means
of X and Y respectively
X 1 5 3 2 1 2 7 3
Y 6 1 0 0 1 2 1 5

a) Predict the value of Y, if X = 10

 b) Predict the value of X, if Y = 8

PROBLEM: 2
Obtain the regression equations taking deviation 5 in case of X and 4 in case
of Y
X 2 6 4 3 2 3 8 7
Y 7 2 1 1 2 3 2 8

Predict the value of X if Y is 10.

1. Given Variance of X = 36; 12X – 85Y + 99 = 0; 6X + 27Y = 321. Calculate

i) Average values of X and Y
ii) S.D. of Y
iii) Regression Coefficients
iv) Correlation coefficient

2. The Correlation coefficient between the variables X and Y is r =0.6, if

S.D. of x is 1.5, S.D. of y is 2, mean of x is 10 and mean of y is 20. Find
the regression lines.

3. Given Coefficient of Correlation between X and Y is 0.8.

X- Series Y- Series
Mean 18 100
Standard Deviation 14 20
a) Find out the most probable value of Y if X is 70 and most probable
value of X if Y is 90.
b) If the regression coefficients are 0.8 and 0.6, what would be the value
of the coefficient of correlation?
