Question

    Two random variables x and y have the following regression equations -

    3x + 2y – 26 = 0

    6x + y – 31 = 0

    then, the mean values of x and y are respectively:

    A 7, 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6, 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4, 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4, 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    3x + 2y – 26 = 0 6x + y – 31 = 0 The means of X and Y will satisfy the above two equations. So, solving the above two equations we get, Xbar = 4 Ybar = 7
