their marks in two subjects Accountancy and Statistics, find the coefficient of
correlation between the marks of twosubjects:

Capital investment 15 22 12 10 17 20 14
Profit 9 12 8 6 10 9 10

Q-4 From the following information of the age (in years) and blood pressure (in mm),
find the correlation coefficient between age and blood pressure:

Q-5 An official has ranked nine villages of a sample on the basis of the work done in the
area of ‘Swachhata Abhiyan’ and ‘Beti Bachavo Abhiyan’ by the villages. The ranks
are given below:

Find the rank correlation coefficient between the performances of the villages in
two Abhiyan
Q-6 Two interviewers gave the following scores to the candidates on the basis of their
performance in the interview. Find the rank correlation coefficient between the
evaluations
Candidate A B C D E F G H
Marks by 1 28 44 10 28 47 35 19 40
Marks by 2 32 45 25 32 41 32 24 38
Q-7 The coefficient of rank correlation of the marks obtained by 10 students in two
particular subjects was found to be 0.5. Later on, it was found that one of the
differences of the ranks of a student was 7 but it was taken as 3. Find the
corrected value of the correlation coefficient.
Q-8 Find the correlation coefficient from the following information of rainfall (X) (in cm)
and yield (Y) (tons per hactare) for the last 10 years of a district: n = 10, Cov (x, y)
= 30, S.D. of X = 5 and variance of Y = 144
Q-9 The following information is obtained regarding the height (X) and weight (Y) from
a sample of ten students of a school:
x̄ = 160, ȳ = 55, Σxy = 90000, Sx = 25, Sy = 10
Find the correlation coefficient between the height and weight from it
Q-10 The following results are obtained to study the relation between the price of
battery (cell) of wrist watch in rupees (X) and its supply in hundred units (Y) :
n = 10, Σx = 130, Σy = 220, Σx2 = 2288 and Σxy = 3467
Obtain the regression line of Y on X and estimate the supply when price is ₹ 16.
Q-11 The information regarding maximum temperature (X) and sale of ice cream (Y) of
six different days in summer for a city is given below:
Maximum temperature = X (in celsius).
Sale of ice cream = Y (in lakh ₹)
x̄ = 40, ȳ = 1.2, Σxy = 306, S x2 = 20
Obtain the regression line of sale of ice cream on maximum temperature. Estimate
the sale of ice cream if the maximum temperature on a day is 42 Celsius.
Q-12 From the following data of price (in ₹) and demand (in hundred units) of a
commodity, obtain the regression line of demand on price. Also estimate the
demand when price is ₹ 20.
