ASSIGN. TITLE : REGRESSION
1. What is regression? Explain the difference between correlation and regression.

2. Explain the utility of study of correlation and regression of two variables.

3. Explain: Linear regression; Regression lines. Why are there two regression lines?

4. What are egression coefficients? How will you determine the value and sign of correlation
coefficient from regression coefficients?
5. The regression coefficients between two variables are −32 and −16, Find the correlation
coefficient between them.
6. Write equations of lines of regression. Why are there two lines of regression?
7. State properties of regression coefficients.
8. State with reasons whether the following statements are true or false;
(i) For two related variables ������ = −1.7 and ������ = −0.7
(ii) ��� ��� = −0.8 , ������ = −0.45, hence �� = 0.6 .
(iii) If two regression coefficients are −4.0 and −0.25 the regression lines coincide. (iv)
The regression coefficient is independent of change of origin and scale. 9. Fill up the blanks
(i) The two regression coefficients are 0.8 and 0.2, hence correlation coefficient is ______
(ii) One of the regression coefficients of two perfectly correlated variables is 0.5, hence the
other regression coefficient is_________
(iii) The greater the angle between the regression lines _________correlation between the
variables.
(iv) The regression equation of �� on �� is �� = −3 +��2and that of on y is �� =
−7 + ����. If the correlation coefficient between �� and �� is 0.1, then
B=__________
(v) The probable change in the value of y with unit change in the value of x can be given by
________.
(vi) Two regression lines intersect each other at (___,___).
(vii)Two regression lines are 3�� = �� and 4�� = 3�� and ���� = 2, then ��
= ______ and ���� = ______. 10. Find the two regression lines

Y 20 26 29 30 25 18 26 35 35 46

11. Find the equation of regression from data regarding price and demand of a commodity. Obtain
the price when demand is of 80 quintals and the demand when price is 70 rupees.
Demand 65 66 67 67 68 69 70 72
 (Quintals)

Price 67 68 66 68 72 72 69 71
(Rupees)

12. The ranks obtained by 10 students in the subject of statistics and accountancy are as follows:
Ranks in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
statistics (x)

Ranks in 2 4 1 5 3 9 7 10 6 8
Accountancy(y)

Find the regression coefficients and hence find the coefficient of correlation. 13. In the
following table x and y represent respectively the heights of twelve fathers and of their eldest
sons. Compute the regression coefficients ������ and ������

X 65 63 67 64 68 62 70 66 68 67 69 71

Y 68 66 68 65 69 66 68 65 71 67 68 70

14. The equations of regression line of y on x and x on y are respectively as follows :

2�� − 5�� + 40 = 0 ,10�� − 9�� = 120
Hence
(i) Obtain the means of x and y
(ii) Estimate x when y=40
(iii) Estimate y when x=60
(iv) Find correlation coefficient between x and y.
