An article in Wood Science and Technology, "Creep in Chipboard, Part 3: Initial Assessment of the Influence of Moisture Content and
Level of Stressing on Rate of Creep and Time to Failure" (1981, Vol. 15, pp. 125-144) studied the deflection (mm) of particleboard from
stress levels of relative humidity. Assume that the two variables are related according to the simple linear regression model. The data
