TopicLinear regression
TypeFind unknown values from regression

The regression line of \(y\) on \(x\), obtained from a random sample of five pairs of values of \(x\) and \(y\), has equation $$y = x + k$$ where \(k\) is a constant. The following table shows the data.
\(x\)2334\(p\)
\(y\)45842
Find the two possible values of \(p\). For the smaller of these two values of \(p\), find
  1. the product moment correlation coefficient,
  2. the equation of the regression line of \(x\) on \(y\).
