Given

X = 0.85Y, Y = 0.89X, σx = 3, r will be

A.

0.32

B.

0.46

C.

0.87

D.

0.39

 
 

Option: C

Explanation :

X = 0.85Y or Bxy = 0.85

Y = 0.89X or Byx = 0.89

r = √(Bxy x Byx) = √(0.85 x 0.89)

= √0.7565 = 0.87

Hence the answer is (c).

In two large populations there are 35 and 30 per cent of fair haired people. Will the difference disappear at 5% level of significance, if samples of 1500 and 1000 are respectively taken from the two populations?

A.

Difference is significant

B.

C.

Difference is not significant

D.

Significant with error

 
 

Option: A

Explanation :

P1 = 35/100 = 0.35

P2 = 30/100 = 0.30

n1 = 1500, n2 = 1000

P1 - P2 = 0.35 - 0.30

= 0.05

The standard error of difference is –
