1. Find Correlation Coefficient from two Regression line equations X+2Y-5=0, 2X+3Y-8=0

Solution:
`x+2y-5=0`

`:.x+2y=5`

and `2x+3y-8=0`

`:.2x+3y=8`

`x+2y=5 ->(1)`

`2x+3y=8 ->(2)`

equation`(1) xx 2 =>2x+4y=10`

equation`(2) xx 1 =>2x+3y=8`

Substracting `=>y=2`

Putting `y=2` in equation`(1)`, we have

`x+2(2)=5`

`=>x=5-4`

`=>x=1`

`:.x=1" and "y=2`

`:. bar x = 1, bar y = 2`

Suppose `X+2Y-5=0` is regression equation of `y` on `x`

 `=>1 x +2 y -5 = 0`

`=>2 y = -1 x +5`

`=>y = (-1)/(2) x +5/(2)`

`=>y = -0.5 x +2.5`

`:. byx = -0.5`


Suppose `2X+3Y-8=0` is regression equation of `x` on `y`

`=> 2 x +3 y -8 = 0`

`=> 2 x = -3 y +8`

`=> x = (-3)/(2) y +8/2`

`=> x = -1.5 y +4`

`:. bxy = -1.5`


`r = sqrt(byx * bxy)`

`=sqrt(-0.5 * -1.5)`

`=sqrt(0.75)`

`=-0.866`
