Chapter 12.1, Problem 5E
The article “Objective Measurement of the Stretchability of Mozzarella Cheese” (J. of Texture Studies, 1992: 185–194) reported on an experiment to investigate how the behavior of mozzarella cheese varied with temperature. Consider the accompanying data on x = temperature and y = elongation(%) at failure of the cheese. [Note: The researchers were Italian and used real mozzarella cheese, not the poor cousin widely available in the United States.]
x | 59 | 63 | 68 | 72 | 74 | 78 | 83 |
y | 118 | 182 | 247 | 208 | 197 | 135 | 132 |

scatterplot in which the axes intersect at (0, 0). Mark 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 on the horizontal axis and 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 on the vertical axis. - b. Construct a scatterplot in which the axes intersect at (55, 100), as was done in the cited article. Does this plot seem preferable to the one in part (a)? Explain your reasoning.
- c. What do the plots of parts (a) and (b) suggest about the nature of the relationship between the two variables?

A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π:
Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut
Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π.
Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations:
(1) Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6

- The article “Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails” (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219.
