Question 27:

The coefficient of rank correlation of the marks obtained by 10 students in two particular subjects was found to be 0.5. It was later discovered that the difference in ranks in two subjects obtained by one of the students was wrongly taken as 3 instead of 7. What should be the correct value of coefficient of rank correlation.

Answer:

Given, rk = 0.5
N = 10

Now,
rk=1-6ΣD2N3-NSubstituting the given values in the formula we get,0.5=1-6ΣD21000-10or, 495=990-6ΣD2or, ΣD2=4956or, ΣD2=82.5Wrong ΣD2=82.5Correct ΣD2=82.5-32+72                    =122.5Substituting the value of correct ΣD2 in the formula for correlation coefficient:Correct Rank Correlation Coefficient ( rk) = 1-6×122.51000-10 rk=0.257

Hence, correct coefficient of rank correlation is 0.257.

Question 28:

Find the standard deviation of X series, if coefficient of correlation between two series X and Y is 0.35 and their covariance in 10.5 and variance of Y series is 56.25.

Answer:

Given,  r = 0.35
Cov (x,y) = 10.5
σy2=56.25σy=7.5
Substituting the given values in the formula we get,

r=Cov x, yσx σyor, 0.35=10.57.5 σxσx=10.57.5×0.35σx=4

Hence, standard deviation of X series is 4.

(ii) Coefficient of correlation = 0.6
(iii) Sum of the product of deviation of X and Y from actual means = 150
(iv) Sum of squares of deviations of X from actual means = 125

Answer:

Given, σy=10σy2=100r=0.6Σxy=150Σx2=125 σy2=Σy2N100=Σy2NΣy2=100 NNow,r=ΣxyΣx2×Σy20.6=150125100 N0.6=15012500 N
