1) If two regression equations X + 5y = 13 and 3x – 2y =5, then the mean value of x and y are respectively.

(A) (2,3) (B) (3,2) (C) (4,5) (D) (5,4)

2) The two regression co efficient s for the following data:

X 38 23 43 33 28

Y 28 23 43 38 8

Are

1. 2 and 0.4 b) 1.6 and 0.8 c) 1.7 and 0.8 d) 1.8 and 0.3

3) The following result relate to bivariate data data (x,y):

∑ xy = 414, ∑ x = 120, ∑y = 90, ∑ y²  = 300, ∑ x² = 600, n=30. Later or, it was known that two pairs of observation  ( 12,11) and (6,8) were wrongly taken, the correct pairs of observations being ( 10, 9) and (8, 10). The corrected value of the correlation coefficient is

7) If the line y=13-3x/2 is the regression equation of Y on x then b_yx is

1. a) 2/3 b) -2/3 c) 3/2 d) -3/2

8) When r=0 then cov (x,y) is equal to

1. a) +1 b) -1 c) 3/2 d) -3/2

9) If r = 0.6, then the coefficient of non- determination is

10). If the sum of the squares of rank difference in the marks of 10 students in two subject is 4 then the coefficient of rank correlation is

1. a) 0.85 b) 0.95 c) 0.75 d) 0.5

11). With usual notation, then the coefficient of concurrent deviation is

1. a) 0.85 b) 0.65 c) -0.65 d) -0.75

12). If scatter diagram from a line move from lower left to upper right corner then correlation is.

1. a) Perfect positive b) Perfect negative c) simple positive d)No correlation

13). Consider to regression line 3x+2y=26, 6x+y=31 find the correlation coefficient berween x and y

1. a) 0.5 b) -0.5 c) 0.25 d) -0.25

14). If correlation coefficient between x and y is 0.5 then find the correlation coefficient between 2x-3 and 3-5y is

1. a) 0.5 b) -0.5 c) 0.25 d) -0.25

15). The coefficient of correlation between two variables x and y is 0.38. Their covariance in 10.2. The  variance of x is 16. The standard deviation of y is

5. a) 5.71 b) 6.71 c) 7.71 d) 8.71

16). In calculating the karl pearson’s coefficient of correlation it is necessary that the data should be of numerical measurements. The statement is.

a)Valid b) not valid c) both d) none

17). The value we would predict for the dependent variable when the independent variables are all equal to zero is called:

1. a) slope b)sum of residual c) Intercept d) Difficult to tell

18). The  coefficient of correlation is significant if:

1. a) r≥5 P.E b) r<6 P.E c) r≥ 6 P.E d)r=6 P.E
