A panel of judges A and B graded seven debaters and independently awarded the following
marks:
Debater 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Marks by
40 34 28 30 44 38 31
A
Marks by B 32 39 26 30 38 34 28

An eighth debater was awarded 36 marks by Judge A while Judge B was not [Link] Judge B
was also present, how many marks would you expect him to award to eighth debaterassuming
same degree of relationship exists in judgment?

The following is an estimated supply regression for sugar :
Y = 0·025 + 1·5X
where Y is supply in kilos and X is price (Rs.) per kilo.
(i) Interpret the coefficient of variable X.
(ii) Predict the supply when price is Rs. 20 per kilo.
(iii) Given that r(x, y) = 1 in the above case, interpret the implied relationship between price
andquantity supplied.
The lines of regression of a bivariate population are:
8x – 10y =66
40x – 18y = 214
The variance of x is 9. Use the above data to find
(i) The mean values of x and y; (ii) Correlation coefficient between x and y
