A) 3 and 4
B) 4 and 3
C) 6 and 8
D) 8 and 6
Correct Answer:
Description for Correct answer:
The regression lines are
\( \Large 5x-y=22\qquad ...(1)\)
\( \Large 64x-5y=24\qquad ...(2)\)
\( \Large (1) \times 45\Rightarrow 225x-45y=990\qquad ...(3)\)
\( \Large (2)\Rightarrow 64x-45y=24\qquad ...(4)\)
\( \Large (3)-(4)4\Rightarrow 161x=966\qquad ...(5)\)
\( \Large x=\frac{966}{161}=6\)
\( \Large \therefore (1)\Rightarrow 5(6)-y=22\)
\( \Large y=8\)
\( \Large \therefore\) The mean values of X and Y are 6 and 8.

(i) Given equations of regression are
3x + 2y - 26 = 0
i.e., 3x + 2y = 26 ….(i)
and 6x + y - 31 = 0
i.e., 6x + y = 31 ….(ii)
By (i) - 2 × (ii), we get
3x + 2y = 26
12x + 2y = 62
- - -
- 9x = - 36
∴ x = `(-36)/-9 = 4`
Substituting x = 4 in (ii), we get
6 × 4 + y = 31
∴ 24 + y = 31
∴ y = 31 - 24
∴ y = 7
Since the point of intersection of two regression lines is `(bar x, bar y)`,
`bar x` = mean of X = 4, and
`bar y` = mean of Y = 7
(ii) Let 3x + 2y 26 = 0 be the regression equation of Y on X.
∴ The equation becomes 2Y = 3X + 26
i.e., Y = `(-3)/2"X" + 26/2`
Comparing it with Y = bYX X + a, we get
`"b"_"YX" = (- 3)/2`
Now, the other equation 6x + y - 31 = 0 is the regression equation of X on Y.
∴ The equation becomes 6X = - Y + 31
i.e., X = `(-1)/6 "Y" + 31/6`
Comparing it with X = bXY Y+ a', we get
`"b"_"XY" = (-1)/6`
∴ r = `+-sqrt("b"_"XY" * "b"_"YX")`
`= +- sqrt((- 1)/6 xx (- 3)/2) = +- sqrt(1/4) = +- 1/2 = +- 0.5`
Since the values of bXY and bYX are negative,
r is also negative.
∴ r = - 0.5
(iii) The regression equation of Y on X is
Y = `(- 3)/2 "X" + 26/2`
For X = 2, we get
Y = `(- 3)/2 xx 2 + 26/2 = - 3 + 13 = 10`
(iv) Given, Var (Y) = 36, i.e., `sigma_"Y"^2` = 36
∴ `sigma_"Y" = 6`
Since `"b"_"XY" = "r" xx sigma_"X"/sigma_"Y"`
`(- 1)/6 = - 0.5 xx sigma_"X"/6`
∴ `sigma_"X" = (-6)/(- 6 xx 0.5) = 2`
∴ `sigma_"X"^2` = Var(X) = 4
The line of regression of y on x is given by: \(y - \;\bar y = {b_{yx}}\;\left( {x - \;\bar x} \right)\) where byx is called the regression coefficient of y on x.
Similarly, the line of regression of x on y is given by: \(x - \;\bar x = {b_{xy}}\;\left( {y - \bar y} \right)\) wherebxy is called the regression coefficient of x on y.
The correlation coefficient r2 = byx × bxy
The two lines of regression intersect each other at \(\left( {\bar x\;,\;\bar y} \right)\)
Calculation:
Given: Two regression lines are 6x + y = 30 and 3x + 2y = 25.
As we know that, the two lines of regression intersect each other at \(\left( {\bar x\;,\;\bar y} \right)\)
By solving these two equations: 6x + y = 30 and 3x + 2y = 25
We get \(\left( {\bar x\;,\;\bar y} \right) = \left( {\frac{{35}}{9},\frac{{20}}{3}} \right)\)
We can write 6x + y = 30 as line of regression of x on y: \(x - \frac{{35}}{9} = \; - \frac{1}{6} \times \left( {y - \frac{{20}}{3}} \right)\) ------(1)
By comparing equation (1), with line of regression of x on y which is given by: \(x - \;\bar x = {b_{xy}}\;\left( {y - \bar y} \right)\) we get \({b_{xy}} = \; - \frac{1}{6}\)
Similarly, we can write 3x + 2y = 25 as line of regression of y on x: \(y - \frac{{20}}{3} = \; - \frac{3}{2}\;\left( {y - \frac{{35}}{9}} \right)\) ------(2)
By comparing equation (2), with line of regression of x on y which is given by \(\;y - \;\bar y = {b_{yx}}\;\left( {x - \;\bar x} \right)\): we get \({b_{yx}} = \; - \frac{3}{2}\)
