If the lines of regression be xy=0x - y = 0 and 4xy3=04x - y - 3 = 0, and σx2=1,\sigma_{x}^{2} = 1, then the coefficient of correlation is

A

– 0.5

B

0.5

C

1.0

D

– 1.0

Answer

0.5

Explanation

Solution

y=xy = x and x=14y+34x = \frac{1}{4}y + \frac{3}{4}. Hence, r=1.14=0.5r = \sqrt{1.\frac{1}{4}} = 0.5.
