Calculation of Arithmetic Mean of x and y
Given:Regression line of Y on x: 2x + 3y = -1
Regression line of X on y: 5x + 6y = -1
To find:Arithmetic mean of x and y
Explanation:
The regression line of Y on x is given by:
2x + 3y = -1
Solving for y, we get:
y = (-2/3)x - (1/3)
The regression line of X on y is given by:
5x + 6y = -1
Solving for x, we get:
x = (-6/5)y - (1/5)
Now, for the arithmetic mean of x and y, we need to find the sum of x and y and divide it by 2.
Sum of x and y can be found by solving the above two equations simultaneously:
(-2/3)x - y = (1/3)
(-6/5)y - x = (1/5)
Multiplying the first equation by -5/3, we get:
x + (5/3)y = (-5/9)
Adding this to the second equation, we get:
(-1/3)y = (-4/45)
Solving for y, we get:
y = (4/15)
Substituting this value of y in any of the above equations, we get:
x = (-6/5)(4/15) - (1/5)
x = (-4/15)
Therefore, the sum of x and y is:
(-4/15) + (4/15) = 0
And the arithmetic mean of x and y is:
0/2 = 0
Therefore, the arithmetic mean of x and y is 0.
