TopicLinear regression
TypeRelate two regression lines

For a random sample of 5 pairs of values of \(x\) and \(y\), the equations of the regression lines of \(y\) on \(x\) and \(x\) on \(y\) are respectively $$y = - 0.5 x + 5 \quad \text { and } \quad x = - 1.2 y + 7.6$$ Find the value of the product moment correlation coefficient for this sample. Test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether the population product moment correlation coefficient differs from zero. The following table shows the sample data.
\(x\)1255\(p\)
\(y\)5342\(q\)
Find the values of \(p\) and \(q\).
