1. Calculate correlation coefficient from the following results:

N = 10, X = 100, Y = 150, (X −10)2 = 180, (Y −15)2 = 215, (X −10)(Y −15) = 60.

2. Coefficient of correlation between X and Y for 50 observations is 0.3, mean of X is 10 and that of Y is 6,

hence weeded out. Calculate the correlation between remaining 49 pairs of values.

Hint. Reconstruct table with classes as 14.5 − 19.5,19.5 − 24.5, …

30 Find the values of 𝑝 and 𝑞 from the following data, given that the median is 28 ⋅ 5 and the total number of
observations is 60 :

10 20 30 40 50
Classes 0 − 10
− 20 − 30 − 40 − 50 − 60

Frequency 5 𝑝 20 15 𝑞 5

(Hint: Since the total number of observation is 60 ,

5 + 𝑝 + 20 + 15 + 𝑞 + 5 = 60 ⇒ 𝑝 + 𝑞 = 15

We construct the following cumulative frequency table :

 10 20 30 40 50
Classes 0 − 10
− 20 − 30 − 40 − 50 − 60

Frequency 5 𝑝 20 15 𝑞 5

Cumulative frequency 5
+𝑝 +𝑝 +𝑝 +𝑞 +𝑞

Given, median = 28 ⋅ 5, so median class is 20 − 30.
