Math Problem Statement

Find the correlation coefficient between x and y and write down the equation of regression has from the following: n=25,Σx=125,Σxy=508,Σy=100,Σy²=460

Solution

To find the correlation coefficient (rr) and the equation of the regression line, we can use the following formulas:

1. Correlation Coefficient (rr):

The correlation coefficient rr is given by:

r=nΣxyΣxΣy(nΣx2(Σx)2)(nΣy2(Σy)2)r = \frac{n \cdot \Sigma xy - \Sigma x \cdot \Sigma y}{\sqrt{\left( n \cdot \Sigma x^2 - (\Sigma x)^2 \right) \cdot \left( n \cdot \Sigma y^2 - (\Sigma y)^2 \right)}}

However, since Σx2\Sigma x^2 is not provided, we can't directly calculate rr from the given information. It seems there's some missing information. Usually, Σx2\Sigma x^2 is also provided along with the other values.

2. Regression Equation (y=mx+cy = mx + c):

The regression line yy on xx can be represented as:

y=mx+cy = mx + c

Where:

  • mm is the slope given by: m=nΣxyΣxΣynΣx2(Σx)2m = \frac{n \cdot \Sigma xy - \Sigma x \cdot \Sigma y}{n \cdot \Sigma x^2 - (\Sigma x)^2}

  • cc is the y-intercept given by: c=ΣymΣxnc = \frac{\Sigma y - m \cdot \Sigma x}{n}

Again, since Σx2\Sigma x^2 is missing, we can’t find the exact values of rr, mm, and cc.

Conclusion:

Without Σx2\Sigma x^2, the correlation coefficient and the regression equation cannot be fully determined.
