Question:
11.86 An operations engineer is interested in modeling E(Y), the expected length of time per month (in hours) that a machine will be shut down for repairs, as a function of the type of machine (001 or 002) and the age of the machine (in years).
He has proposed the following model:
where x1 age of machine Data were obtained on n 20 machine breakdowns and were used to estimate the parameters of the above model. A portion of the regression analysis computer printout is shown in figure below.
x1 = b 1 if machine type 001 0 if machine type 002 E(Y ) = b0 + b1x1 + b2x 21
+ b3x2
The reduced model was fit to the same data. The regression analysis computer printout is partially reproduced in figure below.
E(Y) = b0 + b1x1 + b2x2
Do these data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the second-order ( ) terms in the model proposed by the operations engineer is necessary? Test by using .
