c) Value of X when Y = 30
Q.4) The coefficient of correlation between production and sales of a certain product was
found to be 0.8 over a period of 50 weeks. Average production per week was 25 tonnes and
average sales per week were Rs. 20 lakhs. Coefficient of variation was 16 and 25
respectively. By using linear regression, estimate.
a) The production when sales would amount to Rs. 30 lakhs
b) The sales when the production would become 25 tonnes.
