INTRODUCTION
Nemi Mehta owes a 50-hectare land on which he cultivates Giloy which is a medicinal
plant used for Ayurveda. He wants to know the affect of the advertisement on the sales
and wants to understand the linear relationship between sales and cost of
advertisement. He wants to know if it is worth spending money on advertisement and if
the sales figure shows no relation to advertisement, then he will stop his expenditure on
advertisement.
CONCEPT
Given below are the graphs that represent the linear relationship between the two
variables –
This is the graph showing details of the sales-

As seen above, the sales and advertisement graphs are moving in the same direction
which shows that there is some linear relation between them. The coefficient of
correlation will depict if there is a negative or positive correlation between the two
variables.

z = 70 – 65 = 1.25
4
Now, we have to calculate P(x > 70) = P (z > 1.25)
P (x > 70) = 0.5 – P (z = 1.25), from the table we have P (z = 1.25) as 0.3944.
P (x > 70) = 0.1056
z = 60 – 65 = -1.25
4
Now, we have to calculate P (x < 60) = P (z < -1.25)
P (x < 60) = 0.5 – P (z = -1.25), P (x < 60) = 0.1056
(iii) For 55 and 70
z = x – Mean SD
z1 = 55 – 65 z2 = 70 – 65
4 4
z1 = -2.5 z2 = 1.25
