Solution

The correlation coefficient between x and y is given by rxy = -1/2. The regression coefficient of y on x is given by bxy = -1/8.

The regression coefficient of x on y (byx) can be calculated using the formula:

byx = rxy * (Sx/Sy)

Where Sx is the standard deviation of x and Sy is the standard deviation of y.

However, we don't have the values of Sx and Sy. But we know that:

bxy = rxy * (Sy/Sx)

So we can rearrange this equation to find byx:

byx = rxy / bxy

Substituting the given values:

byx = (-1/2) / (-1/8) = 4

So, the answer is (b) -4.
