The two lines of regression are 2x - 7y + 6 = 0 and 7x – 2y +1 =...
Given two lines of regression:
2x - 7y + 6 = 0
7x - 2y + 1 = 0
We know that the correlation coefficient (r) between x and y is given by the ratio of the covariance of x and y to the product of their standard deviations.
r = cov(x,y) / (σx * σy)
To find the covariance of x and y, we need to find the intersection point of the two lines of regression. Solving the equations simultaneously, we get:
x = 29/53
y = 37/53
So, the intersection point is (29/53, 37/53).
Now, we can find the mean of x and y using the intersection point:
x̄ = 29/53
ȳ = 37/53
The standard deviations of x and y can be found using the equations:
σx = √[Σ(xi - x̄)²/n]
σy = √[Σ(yi - ȳ)²/n]
where n is the number of data points.
In the absence of any data points, we can assume that n = 1, and hence:
σx = 0
σy = 0
Therefore, the correlation coefficient becomes:
r = cov(x,y) / (σx * σy) = undefined
However, we can still make some observations about the correlation between x and y based on the slopes of the lines of regression:
- The line 2x - 7y + 6 = 0 has a slope of 2/7, which means that as x increases, y decreases. This implies a negative correlation between x and y.
- The line 7x - 2y + 1 = 0 has a slope of 7/2, which means that as x increases, y increases. This implies a positive correlation between x and y.
Since the two lines of regression have opposite slopes, we can conclude that there is a weak or no correlation between x and y. The correlation coefficient is undefined because the standard deviations of x and y are zero.
