Given

Let θ be the angle made by the line of regression of Y on X.

σY = 2σX and the correlation coefficient between X and Y  = γ =  0.3

Calculation

Let LYX be line of regression of Y on X

Let the angle made by Lyx with x – axis be θ.

∴ Tangent of the angle made by Lyx with x – axis is tan θ.

But slope of any line with x – axis is tan θ

⇒ Slope of Lyx = byx

⇒ byx = tan θ

⇒ byx = γ(σyx)

⇒ tan θ = 0.3 × 2(σxx)

⇒ tan θ = 0.3 × 2

The value of θ is tan-1(0.6)
