The results that follow were obtained from an analysis of data obtained in a study to assess the relationship between percent increase in yield (Y) and base saturation (x1, pounds/acre), phosphate saturation (x2, BEC%), and soil pH (x3). Fifteen responses were analyzed in the study. The least-squares equation and other useful information follow.
- a Is there sufficient evidence that, with all independent variables in the model. β2 < 0? Test at the α = .05 level of significance.
- b Give a 95% confidence interval for the
mean percent increase in yield if x1 = 914, x2 = 65 and x3 = 6.

- Find the equation of the regression line using the method of least squareswrite your solution clearly. thanksarrow_forwardA regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The least squares regression line is weight = -5.94 + 0.1875 length. Explain in words what this model means (slop and intercept) The new- born boy was 48 cm long, what is the predicted weight of this boy? It is known that the boy is weighed 3 kg. what was his residual? What does that say about him?arrow_forwardThe relationship between number of beers consumed (x) and blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following regression equation was obtained from this study: y-hat = -0.0127 + 0.0180x The above equation implies that: each beer consumed increases blood alcohol by .0127 on average it takes 1.8 beers to increase blood alcohol content by .01 After consuming 1 beer, blood alcohol equals .0180. each beer consumed increases blood alcohol by 0.018arrow_forward
- A chemical company, seeking to study the effect of extraction time on the efficiency of an extraction operation, obtained the data from a table: Fit a straight line to the data given with the least squares method and use it to predict the extraction efficiency that would be expected when the extraction time is 35 minutes. x = Extraction time (minutes)y = Extraction efficiency (%)arrow_forwardA least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight = -5.69 + 0.1656 length. A newborn was 48cm long and weighed 33kg. According to the regression model, what was his residual? What does that say about him?arrow_forwardResearchers record the fuel consumption of a car y (in miles per gallon) at various speeds x (in miles per hour). Using software, they determine that the least-squares regression line of their data is y^=70.243−0.329x If the observed fuel consumption of the car was y = 49y=49 mpg while moving at a speed of x = 20x=20mph, what would be the error (i.e., residual) in the predicted fuel consumption at this speed found with the least-squares regression line? (Do not round your answer.)arrow_forward
- Suppose that the regression model is defined as: y=B1x+u Use the least squares method to estimate the slope of the regression line. Define the objective function that will be used in the estimation. Lastly, enumerate the steps in deriving the estimator of B1arrow_forwardThe relationship between number of beers consumed (x) and blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following regression equation was obtained from this study: y = -0.0127 + 0.0180x. Suppose that the legal limit to drive is a blood alcohol content of 0.08. If Ricky consumed 5 beers the model would predict that he would be:arrow_forwardShow the best fitted line on scatter diagram and Find the predicted value for each y using the exposure time and the equation obtained in part b (b. Find the equation of regression line between radiation doses on exposure time .usingleast square method)arrow_forward
- Hi, can you please work on question (b). Finding the least square regression line.arrow_forwardSuppose we are given a least squares regression line ˆy=43x+10 obtained from data where the range of data for the explanatory variable ranges from a minimum value of 3 to maximum value of 40. If we were to find the predicted value at x= 56, we would be from the data. Please select one of the following answers (i) predicting (ii) conditioning (iii) extrapolating (iv) estimatingarrow_forwardIn an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data was collected from 50 red wine variants of a certain type of wine. A multiple linear regression model to predict wine quality, measured on a scale from 0 (very bad) to 10 (excellent) was developed, based on alcohol content (%), X1, and the amount of chlorides, X2. Perform a multiple regression analysis and determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model. Is there reason to suspect the existence of collinearity? Determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model, with VIF1 and VIF2 being the VIF for X1 and X2, respectively.arrow_forward
