        If the variance of\[x=9\]and regression equations are\[4x-5y+33=0\]and \[20x-9y-10=0,\]then the coefficient of correlation between x and y and the variance of y respectively are

    A)  \[0.6;\text{ }16\]                            

    B)  \[0.16;\text{ }16\]

    C)  \[0.3;\text{ }4\]                              

    D)  \[0.6;\text{ }4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Given that, \[\sigma _{x}^{2}=9\] The given lines of regression are \[4x-5y+33=0,\text{ }20x-9y-10=0\] ie, \[y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{33}{5}\]and\[x=\frac{9}{20}y+\frac{10}{20}\] \[\therefore \]Regression coefficients are \[{{b}_{yx}}=\frac{4}{5}\]and\[{{b}_{xy}}=\frac{9}{20}\] Now,     \[{{b}_{yx}}=\frac{\operatorname{cov}(x,y)}{\sigma _{x}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\operatorname{cov}(x,y)=\frac{4}{5}\times 9=\frac{36}{5}\] and        \[{{b}_{xy}}=\frac{\operatorname{cov}(x,y)}{\sigma _{y}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sigma _{y}^{2}=\frac{36}{5}\times \frac{20}{9}=16\] Again Now\[\rho (x,y)=\frac{\operatorname{cov}(x,y)}{{{\sigma }_{x}}.{{\sigma }_{y}}}\]                 \[=\frac{36}{5\times 3\times 4}=0.6\] Hence coefficient of correlation = 0.6 and variance of \[y=16\]
