To Class A workers, he pays an average monthly salary of OMR 400, to Class B workers, he pays an average monthly salary of OMR 320 and to Class C workers he pays an average monthly salary of OMR 150. The combined average salary paid by the contractor is OMR 255. If the number of class A and class B worker is 10 each, find the number of class C workers.
b) The standard deviation of Class A, Class B and Class C workers is 15, 7 and 12 respectively. Calculate the coefficient of variation of class A, B and C workers.
c) Comment on the variability in the salaries of the class A, B and C workers.
Question 2. The coefficient of correlation between the age and blood pressure of a sample of 8 persons was found to be + 0.8, the average age is 50 years and average blood pressure is 60. Their standard deviations were 5 and 10 respectively.
a) Obtain the two regression equations
b) Find the expected blood pressure of a person who is 49 years old.
