yx . b
xy
r
2 = (-1.2)(-0.3)
r
2 = 0.36
r = Âą0.6
Since, b

(i) Regression equation of X on Y is
(X â \(\bar{x}\)) = b
xy (Y â \(\bar{y}\))
(X â 40) = 6(y â 6)
X â 40 = 6y â 36
X = 6y + 4
When y = 10
x = 6 (10) + 4
= 60 + 4
= 64 crores
(ii) Regression equation Y on X is
(Y â \(\bar{y}\)) = b
yx (X â \(\bar{x}\))
