Question: Angle between two lines of regression is given by...
Angle between two lines of regression is given by
A
tan−1(1−byxbxybyx+bxy1)
B
tan−1(byx+bxybyx−bxy−1)
C
tan−1(1+byxbxybxy−byx1)
D
tan−1(1+byx.bxybyx−bxy)
Answer
tan−1(1+byxbxybxy−byx1)
Explanation
Solution
Equation of regression line of y on x is,
y−yˉ=rσxσy(x−xˉ) or y−yˉ=byx(x−xˉ)
m1= Slope of regression line of y on x=byx
Now, equation of regression line of x on y is,
x−xˉ=bxy(y−yˉ)
rxy=(36)(25)20=32=0.66 slope of regression line of x on y=bxy1
If angle between them is θ, then
tanθ=±1+m1m2m1−m2=1+bxybyxbyx−bxy1or tanθ=(1+byxbxybxy−byx1).
