Assignment 1: 

It is evident from the medical literature that  mental anxiety has a close relationship with systolic blood pressure (SBP). As a biostatistician you want to compute this relationship and collected anxiety score and systolic blood pressure (SBP) from a random sample of 20 individuals. Here anxiety score is an independent variable (x) and SBP is a dependent variable mental anxiety (y). The following table shows the data.

Table: Anxiety score and systolic blood pressure

1. From the above data set compute the correlation coefficient (r) (10 points)

Note: For using the formula of r, you need to calculate the covariance of (x, y), and variance of x and y.

2. Interpret the computed correlation coefficient (r) (5 points)

3. Compute the least square estimates of  and  (10 points)

Note: For calculation of  and  you need to calculate the mean and standard deviation (s) of x and y.

4. Interpret  and  (5 points)
