(IV) Solve the following problems.

Question 1.
The data obtained on X, the length of time in weeks that a promotional project has been in progress at a small business, and Y the percentage increase in weekly sales over the period just prior to the beginning of the campaign.

Find the equation of regression line to predict percentage increase in sales if the company has been in progress for 1.5 weeks.
Solution:
Let u = x – 3, v = y – 15


∴ Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 14.67) = 2.6(x – 2.5)
y – 14.67 = 2.6x – 6.5
y = 2.6x + 8.17
When x = 1.5
y = (2.6)(1.5) + 8.17
= 3.9 + 8.17
= 12.07

Question 2.
The regression equation of y on x is given by 3x + 2y – 26 = 0. Find b_yx.
Solution:
Given, regression equation of Y on X is
3x + 2y – 26 = 0
∴ 2y = -3x + 26
∴ y = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)x + 13
∴ b_yx = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)



Question 3.
If for a bivariate data \(\bar{x}\) = 10, \(\bar{y}\) = 12, v(x) = 9, σ_y = 4 and r = 0.6. Estimate y when x = 5.
Solution:
Given, V(x) = 9
∴ σ_x = 3
b_yx = \(\frac{r \cdot \sigma_{y}}{\sigma_{x}}\)
= 0.6 × \(\frac{4}{3}\)
= 0.8
∴ Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 12) = 0.8(5 – 10)
y – 12 = 0.8(-5)
y – 12 = -4
y = 8

Question 4.
The equation of the line of regression of y on x is v = \(\frac{2}{9} x\) and x on y is x = \(\frac{y}{2}+\frac{7}{6}\). Find (i) r (ii) \(\sigma_{y}^{2} \text { if } \sigma_{x}^{2}=4\).
Solution:


Question 5.
Identify the regression equations of x on y and y on x from the following equations.
2x + 3y = 6 and 5x + 7y – 12 = 0
Solution:

∴ Our assumption is correct
∴ Regression equation of Y on X is 2x + 3y = 6
∴ Regression equation of X on Y is 5x + 7y – 12 = 0

Question 6.
(i) If for a bivariate data b_yx = -1.2 and b_xy = -0.3 then find r.
(ii) From the two regression equations y = 4x – 5 and 3x = 2y + 5, find \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\).
Solution:
r² = b_yx . b_xy
r² = (-1.2) × (-0.3)
r² = 0.36
r = ±0.6
Since, b_yx . b_xy are negative, r = -0.6
Also,(\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of the regression lines
y = 4x – 5, 3x = 2y + 5
8x – 2y = 10
3x – 2y = 5
on subtracting,
5x = 5
x = 1
Substituting x = 1 in y = 4x – 5
y = 4(1) – 5
y = -1
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 1, \(\bar{y}\) = -1



Question 7.
The equation of the two lines of regression are 3x + 2y – 26 = 0 and 6x + y – 31 = 0. Find
(i) Means of X and Y
(ii) Correlation coefficient between X on Y
(iii) Estimate of Y for X = 2
(iv) var (X) if var (Y) = 36
Solution:
(i) Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of regression lines
3x + 2y = 26
6x + y = 31
3x + 2y = 26 …….(i)
12x + 2y = 62 ……..(ii)
on subtracting,
-9x = -36
x = 4
Substituting x = 4 in equation (i)
3(4) + 2y = 26
2y = 14
y = 7
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 4, \(\bar{y}\) = 7



Question 8.
Find the line of regression of X on Y for the following data:
n = 8, Σ(x_i – x)² = 36, Σ(y_i – y)² = 44, Σ(x_i – x)(y_i – y) = 24
Solution:


Question 9.
Find the equation of line regression of Y on X for the following data:
n = 8, Σ(x_i – \(\bar{x}\))(y_i – \(\bar{y}\)) = 120, \(\bar{x}\) = 20, \(\bar{y}\) = 36, σ_x = 2, σ_y = 3.
Solution:

Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 36) = 3.75(x – 20)
(y – 36) = 3.75x – 75
y = 3.75x – 39



Question 10.
The following result was obtained from records of age (X) and systolic blood pressure (Y) of a group of 10 men.

and Σ(x_i – \(\bar{x}\))(y_i – \(\bar{x}\)) = 1120. Find the Prediction of blood pressure of a man of age 40 years.
Solution:

Regression equation of Y on X is
(y – \(\bar{y}\)) = b_yx (x – \(\bar{x}\))
(y – 140) = 0.7(40 – 50)
y – 140 = 0.7(-10)
y – 140 = -7
∴ y = 133

Question 11.
The equations of two regression lines are 10x – 4y = 80 and 10y – 9x = -40 Find:
(i) \(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\)
(ii) b_yx and b_xy
(iii) If var(Y) = 36, obtain var(X)
(iv) r
Solution:
(i) Since (\(\bar{x}\), \(\bar{y}\)) is the point of intersection of regression
10x – 4y = 80 ……(i)
-9x + 10y = -40 ……..(ii)
50x – 20y = 400
-18x + 20y = -80
32x = 320
x = 10
x = 10 in equation (i)
10(10) – 4y = 80
4y = 20
y = 5
∴ \(\bar{x}\) = 10, \(\bar{y}\) = 5


(iv) r² = b_yx . b_xy = 0.36
r = ±0.6
Since b_yx and b_xy are positive
∴ r = 0.6



Question 12.
If b_yx = -0.6 and b_xy = -0.216 then find correlation coefficient between X and Y comment on it.
Solution:
r² = b_yx . b_xy
r² = -0.6 × -0.216
r² = 0.1296
r = ±√0.1296
r = ± 0.36
Since b_yx and b_xy are negative
r = -0.36
