Here correlation between x and y where is between 0 and 1. So we can say that relationship between x and y is positive correlation.

Q.3
Mean standard deviation 39.9572 3.753512266 2.6696 0.477593621

Q.4 Covariance between the two variable x and y. COVARIANCE 0.971615

Here the variance are positive so that the random variables really are random

Q.5 The correlation is indicated by correlation coefficient Correlation coefficient between the two variable x and y Correlation coefficient 0.564581401

As =0.5 that is it is between 0 and 1 it implies + correlation

Q.6 Y on x Regression coefficient estimates the relationship between two variables

Q.11
Regression analysis is one of the most significant and generally used statistical techniques and has many applications in business and economics. A firm may use regression analysis for estimating the relationship between variables like sales and advertising (for marketing) Correlation measures the linear relationship between two variable x and y. Correlation indicated by correlation coefficient. In correlation when one variable changes the other variable also changes. As I have taken brith rate and population growth rate as variables. In this change in one affect the other variable. Regression linear equation y=a+bx
