pressure when the age is 50 years. Can we also estimate the blood pressure of a
person aged 20 years on the basis of regression equation. Discuss.

2. For 50 students of a class the regression equation of the marks in Statistics (X) on
the marks in Accounting (Y) is 3Y-5X+180=0. The mean marks in Accountancy is 44
and variance of marks in Statistics is 9/16 th of the variance of marks in Accountancy.
Find the mean marks in Statistics and the coefficient of correlation between marks
in two subjects.

5. The following calculations have been made for prices of 12 stocks (X) on the
Calcutta Stock Exchange on a certain day along with the volume of sales in thousand
of shares (Y). From these calculations find the regression equation of prices on
stocks, on the volume of sales of shares.

7. From the 10 observations of price (m) and supply (n) of a commodity, the following
summary figures were obtained ( in appropriate units):
∑m = 130, ∑n=220, ∑mn=3467, ∑m2 = 2288, ∑n2=5506
Compute the line of regression of n on m and estimate the supply when price is 16.
