    The regression coefficient of y on\[x\]is 2/3 and that of\[x\]on y is 4/3. The acute angle between the two regression lines is\[ta{{n}^{-1}}k,\]where k is equal to:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{9}\]                  

    B)         \[\frac{2}{9}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{18}\]               

    D)         \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{8}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know, \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{b}_{xy}}\times {{b}_{xy}}-1}{{{b}_{yx}}+{{b}_{xy}}} \right)\] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ \frac{\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{4}{3}-1}{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{3}} \right\}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ -\frac{1/9}{2} \right\}\]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left\{ -\frac{1}{18} \right\}\] \[\because \]Angle is acute angle \[\therefore \]  \[k=\frac{1}{18}\]
