Calculating karl pearsons coefficient of correlation


Question 1: The given table provides scores and sales are nine salesmen during last one year in a certain firm:

Text scores 14 19 24 21 26 22 15 20 19

Sales (in 000'Rupees) 31 36 48 37 50 45 33 41 39

Calculate the Karl Pearson's Coefficient of Correlation and interpret the result.

x                 y            dx = x-20  dy = y-40    dxdy     dx2                 dy2
14              31                -6            -9           54       36                   81
19              36                -1            -4            4        1                    16
24              48                 4              8            32       16                  64
21              37                 1             -3            3         1                   9
26              50                 6             10            60       36                  100
22              45                 2              5             10        4                  25
15              33                -5             -7             35       25                 49
20              41                 0              1              0         0                  1
19              39                -1             -1             1         1                   1

Σx = 180  Σy = 180                                      Σdxdy = 93  Σdx2 = 120 Σdy2 = 346

Question 2
: Find out the probability of drawing a diamond card in each of consecutive draws from a well shuffled pack of cards, if the card drawn is not replaced after the first draw.

Question 3: A bag contains 5 white, 7 red and 8 black balls. If four balls are drawn one by one without replacement, find out the probability of getting all the white balls.
