Outcome
(CO)
1. On the basis of observations made on 30 cotton plants, the total correlation of yield of cotton
(X1), the number of bales (X2 ) and height (X3) are found to be r12 = 0.86; r13 = 0.65; r23 = 0.72. CO3
Compute the partial correlation coefficient r12.3 and the multiple correlation coefficient R1.23

2. Compute the two regression equations on the basis of the following information
X Y
Mean 50 55 CO3
Standard deviation 15 18
Given that Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient between X and Y is rxy = 0.55
Also estimate the value of Y when X = 50 by using appropriate regression equation.
A certain process produces 10% defective articles. A supplier of new raw material claims that
3 the use of his material would reduce the proportion of defectives and a random sample of 400
units using this new material was taken out of which 34 were defective units. Can the supplier’s CO4
claim be accepted at 1% level of significance?
A simple random sampling survey in respect of monthly earnings of semi-skilled workers in
4 two cities gives the following statistical information:
City Mean monthly earnings Standard deviation of sample Size of CO4
(Rs.) data of monthly earnings sample
A 695 40 200
B 710 60 175
Test the hypothesis at 5% level of significance that there is no difference between monthly
earnings of workers in the two cities.
