bXY=rσX/σY=0.5b_{XY}=r\sigma_X/\sigma_Y = 0.5; regression line X−Xˉ=bXY(Y−Yˉ)X-\bar X = b_{XY}(Y-\bar Y) gives X=0.5Y+40X = 0.5Y + 40, so at Y=100Y=100, X=90X=90.

Given: Xˉ=85\bar X = 85, Yˉ=90\bar Y = 90, σX=5\sigma_X = 5, σY=6\sigma_Y = 6, r=0.6r = 0.6.

Step 1 — Regression coefficient of XX on YY.

bXY=r⋅σXσY=0.6×56=0.5.b_{XY} = r\cdot\frac{\sigma_X}{\sigma_Y} = 0.6\times \frac{5}{6} = 0.5.

Step 2 — Equation of the line of XX on YY.

X−Xˉ=bXY (Y−Yˉ)X - \bar X = b_{XY}\,(Y - \bar Y)

X−85=0.5 (Y−90)X - 85 = 0.5\,(Y - 90)

X−85=0.5Y−45X - 85 = 0.5Y - 45

X=0.5Y+40.X = 0.5Y + 40.
