Unit 4 Tutorial Problems Updated

This document contains 9 practice problems related to calculating correlation coefficients and performing linear regressions from bivariate data: 1. It provides correlation coefficient calculations from data on X and Y variables. 2. It includes problems finding rank correlation coefficients from data where the variables are ranks rather than raw values. 3. Multiple problems involve calculating Pearson's correlation coefficient, lines of regression, and estimating variable values based on regression equations. 4. Questions also cover finding mean and standard deviation values of variables based on given regression equations and correlation coefficients.
