A computer while calculating the correlation coefficient between two

variables X and Y from 8 pairs of observations obtained the following results.
N = 8, X = 562, X2 = 39602, Y = 561, Y2 = 39815 and XY = 39441.
It is however, later discovered at the time checking that the computer has
copied down two pairs as (X = 76, Y = 56 and X = 76 , Y = 86) instead of (X = 67,
Y = 65 and X = 67 , Y = 68). Calculate the correct value of the correlation
coefficient and regression line of Y on X. Estimate Y when X = 65.
[ans: r = 0.60, y = 0.667x + 23.644, 67]
