Question:

Exercise 15 of Section 12.2 included Minitab output for a regression of flexural strength of concrete beams on modulus of elasticity.

s 5 5.240 R-sq 5 97.5% R-sq(adj) 5 97.3%

a. Use the output to calculate a confidence interval with a confidence level of 95% for the slope b1 of the population regression line, and interpret the resulting interval.

b. Suppose it had previously been believed that when modulus of elasticity increased by 1 GPa, the associated true average change in flexural strength would be at most .1 MPa. Does the sample data contradict this belief?
State and test the relevant hypotheses.
