 Correlation and Regression

1. For 12 pairs of observation, no of concurrent 12. Take 200 and 150 as assumed mean for X and Y
deviation was found to be 6. What is the value of series of 11 values, then dx=X-200 dy=y-150,
coefficient of concurrent deviation. dx=4,dx2=2667, dy=42, dy2=6964,
a +1/12 B 1/11 c -1/11 d none dxdy=3943.the value of r is
a 0.77 B 0.98 c 0.92 d 0.82
2. If the coefficient of correlation between x and y is
2/3 and the SD of x is 3 and SD of y is 4, the 13. The coefficient of correlation between Xand Y is
covariance between x and y will be 0.6. U and V are two variables defined as U=(x-3)
A 3 B 6 c 7 d 8 /2 and V=(y-2)/3 then the coefficient of
correlation between U AND V is
3. If the coefficient of determination is 0.36 the A 0.6 B 0.4 C 0.8 d 1
coefficient of correlation will be
a 0.3 B 0.36 c 0.6 d 0.036 14. The method applied for deriving regression
equations is known as
4. Given r=0.5 and n=64 the standard error is a. Concurrent deviation c. product moment

6. If the coefficient of correlation between two 16. The coefficient of correlation is significant if r is
variables is 0.8 and their covariance is 24. If the a > 5PE B < 6PE c =PE d >6PE
variance of X series on t is 25, the SD of y series
will be 17. If r=1 then the regression lines are
A 6.24 B 5.94 c 6.00 d 5.54 a Parallel B Perpendicular c Coincide d None

7. If the regression coefficients are -1/6 and -3/2. 18. If AM X & Y are 16 and 20 respectively and X
