Question
For bivariate data, the regression coefficient of Y on X is 0.4 and the regression coefficient of X on Y is 0.9. Find the value of the variance of Y if the variance of X is 9.

Solution
Given: bYX = 0.4, bXY = 0.9,
var(x) = 9; var(y) =?
r = `+-sqrt("b"_"YX"."b"_"XY")`
= `+-sqrt(0.4 xx 0.9)`
= `+-sqrt0.36`
r = 0.6
∵ `"b"_"YX" - "b"_"XY" > 0`
var(x) = 9
`sigma_"X" = sqrt("var(x)")`
= `sqrt9 = 3`
Now, `"b"_"YX" = "r" xx sigma_"Y"/sigma_"X"`
∴ `0.4 = 0.6 xx sigma_"Y"/3`
∴ `0.4 = 0.2 xx sigma_"Y"`
∴ `sigma_"Y" = 0.4/0.2 = 2`
var(y) = `sigma_"y"^2`
= 22 = 4
∴ `sigma^2` = 4
∴ The value of variance of Y is 4.
