Question 1. State whether the following statements are true or false and also give the reason in support of your answer: a) If standard deviation of xis 5, standard deviation of y = 2x-3 is 7. b) Mean deviation is least when calculated from the median, ©) The correlation coefficient between x and (a— x) is—1. 4) The regression coefficients byx and bxy of a data are 1.2 and 0.8, respectively. ¢) If (AB) = 10, (aB) = 15, (AB) = 20 and (af) = 30 then A and B are associated. Ans: a). True, for SD(x) = 5, Therefore for y = 2x-3 SD(y) = 2(5)-3 =10-3=7 b). True, Mean deviation is the arithmetic average of the deviations of the observed values from an average of the observed values. Mean deviation from the median calculates the arithmetic average of the deviations of the observed values from median of the observed values. Mean deviations is minimum when deviations are taken from median as median is the middle most value of the series and disperse the whole series into minimal value. c).True 4), False, it may be vary ©). True, (A)=(AB)+(Af)= 10#20 =30 (B)=(AB)+(aB)= 15+30 45 N =(AB)+(Af )+(aB) +(aB ) = 10+15+20+30 = 35 (AWB) , 30x48 N 75 1 (AB), (AB)= 10 (AB), A and B are associated
