Assignment 1-3

1. The data shows a positive correlation between number of sales calls and machines sold by 10 sales representatives. Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the strength and direction of this relationship. 2. The data on age and exam success of students showed a positive correlation, with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient calculated to determine the strength and direction of this relationship between age groups and exam performance. 3. The product moment correlation coefficient was calculated using the given data points to determine the strength and direction of correlation between variables x and y.

Assignment-1
1. The following data shows number of calls made by 10 sales representative and the and the
number of machine sold.
No. of sales calls 20 40 20 30 10 10 20 20 20 30

No. of machines sold 30 60 40 60 30 40 40 50 30 70

Obtain Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient and comment on its values.


2. Comment the correlation between age and success of the students in an examination based
on the following data:
Age 20-22 22-24 24-26 26-28 28-30 30-32
No. of candidates appeared 120 100 75 90 50 40
No. of candidates passed 102 82 63 72 39 30

3. For the information given below, find product moment correlation coefficient and comment
on its value.
n=8, ∑x=40, ∑y=88, ∑xy=404, ∑ 𝑥 2 = 520 , ∑ 𝑦 2 = 1058
4. The following calculations are available for 20 pairs of observations on x and y.
∑ 𝑥 = 100 , ∑ 𝑦 = 80 , ∑ 𝑥𝑦 = 406 , ∑ 𝑥 2 = 220 , ∑ 𝑦 2 = 1058
It was later found that one of the pair of observation was wrongly copied as (5,4), while the
correct value was (4,5). Find the correct value of correlation coefficient.
5. Given r = 0.5, cov (x, y) = 4, s. d. (x) = 2.5, ∑ 𝑦 2 = 192.4, n = 10 Find mean of y.
6. The following table shows ranks given by two judges to 10 participants in signing
competition. Find Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
Judge 1 1 9 4 2 8 5 7 3 10 6
Judge 2 3 10 6 1 8 2 4 5 9 7
7. The marks scored by 8 students in Statistics and their ranks in Economics are given below.
Calculate Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and comment.
Marks in Statistics 39 65 76 45 90 31 72 59

Ranks in Economics 8 3 1 7 2 6 4 5

8. If the rank correlation coefficient is 0.5 and sum of squares of differences between the ranks
is 10, find number of observations used in calculating rank correlation coefficient.
9. From the following data calculate the coefficient of rank correlation between X and Y.
X 2 4 8 11 14 15
Y 10 15 18 20 24 30

10. The following table shows the marks obtained by 10 students in Accountancy and Statistics.
Find the Spearman's coefficient of rank correlation.
Student No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Accountancy 45 70 65 30 90 40 50 57 85 60
Statistics 35 90 70 40 95 40 60 80 80 50
