1. Calculate the two regression equations from the following data: N=7, ∑ 𝑋 = 30 , ∑ 𝑌 = 23 ,
∑ 𝑌 2 = 175 , ∑ 𝑋𝑌 = 168, ∑ 𝑋 2 = 224 . Hence of otherwise find Karl’s Pearson’s coefficient
of correlation.
2. The following table gives the aptitude test scores and productivity indices of 10 workers at
random:
