SUMMARY
The regression of y on x is defined by the equation 2y - 3x = 10, while the regression of x on y is given by 4x - 3y = 8. To find the correlation coefficient r between x and y, as well as the means of x and y, one must utilize the relationships between the regression coefficients, means, variances, and covariance. The solution requires understanding how to derive the means and correlation from the provided regression equations, which express the slope and intercept in terms of these statistical measures.
