and History obtained by the 10 students.
(b) (i) Find the line of regression in which Physics is taken as the independent
variable.
(ii) A candidate had scored 10 marks in Physics but was absent from the History
test. Estimate his probable score for the latter test.

crores.
26 (a) Internal and External assessments were conducted on a group of 10 students who 2005
were studying in a postgraduate class in a college. The following marks were
obtained in the assessments:
Roll No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Internal 45 62 67 32 12 38 47 68 42 85
Marks
External 39 48 65 32 20 35 45 77 30 62

Find the Spearmans Rank Correlation Coefficient and comment on the result.
(b) There are two series of index numbers:
P for price index and S for stock of a commodity. The mean and standard
deviation of P are 100 and 8 and S are 103 and 4 respectively. The correlation
coefficient between the two series is 0.4. With thesE data, obtain the regression
lines of P and S and S on P.
