Question 25 Marks
If the two regression lines for a bivariate data are $2 x=y+15(x$ on $y)$ and $4 y-3 x+25(y$ on $x$ ) find
(i) $\bar{x}$
(ii) $\bar{y}$
(iii) $b_{y x}$
(iv) $b_{x y}$
(v) $r$ [Given $\sqrt{ } 0.375=0.61$ ]
Answer
Since $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ is the point of intersection of the regression line
$
\begin{aligned}
& 2 x=y+15 \\
& 4 y=3 x+25 \\
& 2 x-y=15 \ldots \ldots \text { (i) } \\
& 3 x-4 y=-25 . . . . . .(i i)
\end{aligned}
$
Multiplying equation (i) by 4
$
\begin{aligned}
& 8 x-4 y=60 \\
& 3 x-4 y=-25
\end{aligned}
$
on Subtracting,
$
\begin{aligned}
& 5 x=85 \\
& \therefore x=17
\end{aligned}
$
Substituting $x$ in equation (i)
$
\begin{aligned}
& 2(17)-y=15 \\
& 34-15=y \\
& \therefore y=15
\end{aligned}
$
$\begin{array}{lr}\bar{x}=17, \bar{y}=19 & \\ 2 x=y+15 & 4 y=3 x+25 \\ x=\frac{1}{2} y+7.5 & y=\frac{3}{4} x+6.25 \\ b_{x y}=\frac{1}{2} & b_{y x}=\frac{3}{4} \\ b_{x y} \cdot b_{y x}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8} \in[0,1] & \end{array}$
$\therefore$Our assumption is correct
$
\begin{aligned}
r^2 & =b_{x y} \cdot b_{y x} \\
r^2 & =\frac{3}{8} \quad \text {} \\
& =0.375 \\
r & = \pm \sqrt{0.375}= \pm 0.61
\end{aligned}
$
Since $b_{y x}$ and $b_{x y}$ are positive, $\therefore r=0.61$

Question 35 Marks
The two regression lines between height (X) in includes and weight (Y) in kgs of girls are 4y – 15x + 500 = 0 and 20x – 3y – 900 = 0. Find the mean height and weight of the group. Also, estimate the weight of a girl whose height is 70 inches.
Answer
Since $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ is the point intersection of the regression lines
$
\begin{aligned}
& 15 x-4 y=500 \ldots \\
& 20 x-3 y=900 \ldots \\
& 60 x-16 y-2000 \\
& 60 x-9 y=2700 \\
& \text { on subtracting, } \\
& -7 y=-700 \\
& y=100
\end{aligned}
$
on subtracting,
$
\begin{aligned}
& -7 y=-700 \\
& y=100
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Substituting } y=100 \text { in equation (i) } \\
& 15 x-4(100)=500 \\
& 15 x=900 \\
& x=60
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore \bar{x}=60, \bar{y}=100 & \\
4 y=15 x-500 & 20 x=3 y+100 \\
y=\frac{15}{4} x-125 & x=\frac{3}{20} y+45 \\
b_{y x}=\frac{15}{4} & b_{x y}=\frac{3}{20}
\end{array}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& b_{y x} \cdot b_{x y}=\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{3}{20} \text { } \\
& =\frac{9}{16} \in[0,1]
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ Our assumption is correct
$\therefore$ Regression equation of $\mathrm{Y}$ on $\mathrm{X}$ is
$
Y=\frac{15}{4} x-125
$
When $x=70$
$
\begin{aligned}
& Y=\frac{15}{4} \times 70=-125 \\
& =262.5-125 \\
& =137.5 \mathrm{~kg}
\end{aligned}

Question 45 Marks
Regression equation of two series are $2 x-y-15=0$ and $4 y+25=0$ and $3 x-4 y+25=0$. Find $\bar{x}, \bar{y}$ and regression coefficients, Also find coefficients of correlation. [Given $\sqrt{ } 0.375=$ $0.61]$
Answer
Since $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ is the point of intersection of the regression line
$
\begin{aligned}
& 2 x=y+15 \\
& 4 y=3 x+25 \\
& 2 x-y=15 \ldots \ldots (i) \\
& 3 x-4 y=-15 \ldots \ldots (ii)
\end{aligned}
$
Multiply equation (i) by 4
$
\begin{aligned}
& 8 x-4 y=60 \\
& 3 x-4 y=-25
\end{aligned}
$
on subtracting,
$
\begin{aligned}
& 5 x=85 \\
& x=17
\end{aligned}
$
Substituting $x$ in equation (i)
$
\begin{aligned}
& 2(17)-y=15 \\
& 34-15=y \\
& y=15 \\
& \therefore \bar{x}=17, y=19 \\
& 2 x=y+15 \\
& 4 y=3 x+25 \\
& x=\frac{1}{2} y+7.5 \\
& y=\frac{3}{4} x+6.25 \\
&
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& b_{x y}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text {} \\
& b_{x y} \cdot b_{y x}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8} \in[0,1]
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ Our assumption is correct
$
\begin{aligned}
& r^2=b_{x y} \cdot b_{y x} \\
& r^2=\frac{3}{8}=0.375 \\
& r= \pm \sqrt{ } 0.375= \pm 0.61
\end{aligned}
$
Since, $b_{y x}$ and $b_{x y}$ are positive, $\therefore r=0.61$

Question 55 Marks
\begin{align}
\text { The two regression equation are } 5 x-6 y+90=0 \text { and } 15 x-8 y-130=0 \text {. Find } \bar{x}, \bar{y}, r \text {. }
\end{align}
Answer
Since $(\bar{x}, y)$ is the point of intersection of the regression lines
$
\begin{aligned}
& 5 x-6 y+90=0 \\
& 15 x-8 y-130=0 \\
& 15 x-18 y+270=0 \\
& 15 x-8 y-130=0
\end{aligned}
$
on subtracting,
$
\begin{aligned}
& -10 y+400=0 \\
& y=40
\end{aligned}
$
Substituting $\mathrm{y}=40$ in equation (i)
$
\begin{array}{ll}
5 x-6(40)+90=0 & \\
5 x=150 & \\
\mathrm{x}=30 & \\
\therefore \bar{x}=30, \bar{y}=40 & \\
\quad 5 x-6 y+90=0 & 15 x-8 y-130=0 \\
6 y=5 x+90 & x=\frac{8}{15} y+\frac{130}{15} \\
y=\frac{5}{6} x+15 & b_{x y}=\frac{8}{15} \\
b_{y x}=\frac{5}{6} & \\
b_{y x} \cdot b_{x y}=\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{8}{15}=\frac{4}{9} \in[0,1] &
\end{array}
$
$
b_{y x} \cdot b_{x y}=\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{8}{15}=\frac{4}{9} \in[0,1]
$
$\therefore$ Our assumption is correct
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore & r^2=b_{y x} \cdot b_{x y} \\
& =\frac{4}{9} \quad \text { } \\
\therefore \quad r & = \pm \frac{2}{3}
\end{aligned}
$
Since $b_{y x}$ and $b_{x y}$ are positive
$
\therefore r=\frac{2}{3}
