TopicBivariate data
TypeFind missing data values

For a random sample, \(A\), 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 \(y = 4.5 + 0.3 x\) and \(x = 3 y - 13\). Four of the five pairs of data are given in the following table.
\(x\)1579
\(y\)5677
Find
  1. the fifth pair of values of \(x\) and \(y\),
  2. the value of the product moment correlation coefficient. A second random sample, \(B\), of 5 pairs of values of \(x\) and \(y\) is summarised as follows. $$\Sigma x = 20 \quad \Sigma x ^ { 2 } = 100 \quad \Sigma y = 17 \quad \Sigma y ^ { 2 } = 69 \quad \Sigma x y = 75$$ The two samples, \(A\) and \(B\), are combined to form a single random sample of size 10 .
  3. Use this combined sample to test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether the population product moment correlation coefficient is different from zero.
