With reference to the preceding exercise, find 95 % limits of prediction for the moisture content of the raw material when the humidity of the storage place is 40%. Also indicate to what extent the width of the interval is affected by the size of the sample and to what extent it is affected by the inherent variability of the data. Exercise Raw material used in the production of a synthetic fiber is stored in a place which has no humidity control. Measurements of the relative humidity in the storage place and the moisture content of a sample of the raw material (both in percentages) on 12 days yielded the following results: Humidity X |Moisture content Y 42 12 35 8 50 14 43 9 48 11 62 16 31 7 36 9 44 12 39 10 55 13 48 11 (a) Make a scatter plot to verify that it is reasonable to assume that the regression of Y on x is linear. (b) Fit a straight line by the method of least squares. (c) Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean moisture content of the raw material when the humidity of the storage place is 40%.The following table shows how many weeks a sample of 6 persons have worked at an automobile inspection station and the number of cars each one inspected between noon and 2 P.M. on a given day: Number of weeks employed X| Number of cars inspected Y 2 13 21 CO 23 14 5 15 12 21 (a) Find the equation of the least squares line which will enable us to predict y in terms of x. (b) Use the result of part (a) to estimate how many cars someone who has been working at the inspection station for 8 weeks can be expected to inspect during the given 2-hour period.With reference to the preceding exercise, test the null hypothesis 8 = 1.2 against the alternative hypothesis 8) Note that H=atbx = ] - bx+ bx = y+ b(x - X) 80 # - J = b(x -x) Using this last expression, then the definition of b and again the last expression, we see that and the sum of squares about the mean can be decomposed as total sum of squares error sum of squares regression rim of squares Generally, we find the straight-line fit acceptable if the ratio regression sum of squares =1 - total sum of squares is near 1. Calculate the decomposition of the sum of squares and calculate r2 using the observations in Exercise. Exercise The following data pertain to the number of computer jobs per day and the central processing unit (CPU) time required. Number of jobs X| CPU time Y N 2 5 4 4 9 5 10 (a) Use the first set of expressions on page 304, involving the deviations from the mean, to obtain a least squares fit of a line to the observations on CPU time. (b) Use the equation of the least squares line to estimate the mean CPU time at x = 3.5.It is tedious to perform a least squares analysis without using a computer. We illustrate here a computer-based analysis using the MINITAB package. The observations on page 318 are entered in C1 and C2 of the worksheet. DATA 11-22.DAT 0 2 2 4 4 5 6 y: 25 20 30 40 45 50 50 We first obtain the scatter plot to see if a straight-line pattern is evident. Dialog box: Graph > Scatterplot. Click on Simple. Click OK.

Obtain the regression equation using all 9 cases. (b) Referring to your computer output, identify the decomposition of sums of squares given as the analysis of variance.\fThe following data pertain to the cosmic ray doses measured at various altitudes: Altitude (feet) X| Dose rate (mem/year) Y 50 28 450 30 780 32 1,200 36 4,400 51 4,800 58 5,300 69 (a) Fit an exponential curve (b) Use the result obtained in part (a) to estimate the mean dose at an altitude of 3,000 feet.With reference to the preceding exercise, change the equation obtained in part (a) to the form " alecx and use the result to rework part (b). Exercise The following data pertain to the cosmic ray doses measured at various altitudes: Altitude (feet) X| Dose rate (mem/year) Y 50 28 450 30 780 32 1,200 36 4,400 51 4,800 58 5,300 69 (a) Fit an exponential curve (b) Use the result obtained in part (a) to estimate the mean dose at an altitude of 3,000 feet
