Question

The following results were obtained from records of age (x) and systolic blood pressure (y) of a group of 10 women.

  x y
Mean 53 142
Variance 130 165

`sum(x_i - barx)(y_i - bary)` = 1170

Sum

Solution

Here. we need to find line of regressoin of y on x. which is given as:

`bary = "a" + "b"_("y"x)barx`

Where, byx = `("cov"("X", "Y"))/σ_x^2`

= `((sum(x_i - barx)(y_i - bary))/n)/(σ_x^2)`

= `(1170/10)/130` = 0.9

and a = `bary - barb_(yx)barx`

= 142 – (0.9)(53)

= 94.3

Therefore, regression equation of y on x is y = 94.3 + 0.9x

Now, the estimate of blood pressure of women with age 47 years is:

y = 94.3 + 0.9 × 4 7

= 136.6

If n = 5, Σx = Σy = 20, Σx2 = Σy2 = 90 , Σxy = 76 Find Covariance (x,y) 


Mean of x = 53

Mean of y = 28

Regression coefficient of y on x = – 1.2

Regression coefficient of x on y = – 0.3

a. r = `square`

b. When x = 50,

`y - square = square (50 - square)`

∴ y = `square`

c. When y = 25,

`x - square = square (25 - square)`

∴ x = `square`


The regression equation of y on x is 2x – 5y + 60 = 0

Mean of x = 18

`2 square -  5 bary + 60` = 0

∴ `bary = square`

`sigma_x : sigma_y` = 3 : 2

∴ byx = `square/square`

∴ byx = `square/square`

∴ r = `square`
