Question

Protein Content of Wheat. In their text, Methods of Correlation and Regression Analysis (New York: Wiley, 1959), M. Ezekiel and K. Fox present, for 20 batches of wheat, data on protein content and proportion of (hard, dark) vitreous kernels, as seen in the following table.

Protein content is found by expensive chemical analysis,whereas proportion of vitreous kernels is found by visual inspection. To provide an inexpensive way for predicting protein content, we want to obtain an appropriate regression equation for relating protein content to proportion of vitreous kernels.
