Chapter 13, Problem 71SE
An ammonia bath is the one most widely used for depositing Pd-Ni alloy coatings. The article “Modelling of Palladium and Nickel in an Ammonia Bath in a Rotary Device” (Plating and Surface Finishing. 1997: 102-104) reported on an investigation into how bath-composition characteristics affect coating properties. Consider the following data on .x1 = Pd concentration
(g/dm3), x2 = Ni concentration (g/dm3)d, x3 = pH, x4 = temperature (oc), x5 = cathode current density (A/dm2), and y = palladium content (%) of the coating.
- a. Fit the first-order model with five predictors and assess its utility. Do all the predictors appear to be important?
- b. Fit the complete second-order model and assess its utility.
- c. Does the group of second-order predictors (interaction and quadratic) appear to provide more useful information about y than is contributed by the first-order predictors? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses.
- d. The authors of the cited article recommended the use of all five first-order predictors plus the additional predictor x6 = (pH)2. Fit this model. Do all six predictors appear to be important?

An article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering [“Overview of Reservoir Release Improvements at 20 TVA Dams” (Vol. 125, April 1999, pp. 1–17)] presents data on dissolved oxygen concentrations in streams below 20 dams in the Tennessee Valley Authority system. The observations are (in milligrams per liter):
Consider the following 10 measurements about the cohesion of a soil: 12 kPa, 14 kPa, 15 kPa, 14.5 kPa, 16.0 kPa, 18 kPa, 15 kPa, 16.2 kPa, 17. 6 kPa, 13 kPa. Work out the solutions of the following two problems, assuming the cohesion follows the normal and lognormal distributions, respectively.
(1) Draw the PDF of the cohesion;
(2) Evaluate the probability that the cohesion based on the PDF is less than 5 kPa, 10 kPa, and 15 kPa;
(3) Assess the effect of the type of distribution on the results.
The sulfate ion concentration in natural water can be determined by measuring the turbidity that results when an excess of BaCl2 is added to a measured quantity of the sample. A turbiditimeter, the instrument used for this analysis, was calibrated with a series of standard Na2SO4 solutions. The following data were obtained for the calibration:

- The aging Neotropical termites (Neocapritermes taracua) secrete a sticky, blue-colored liquid that they spew to intruding termites. The younger Neotropical termites secrete a liquid that lacks the blue component, so it is white in appearance. In an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance, the researchers placed one drop of either the blue liquid or the white liquid on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis. Of the 41 Labiotermes labralis that got the blue drop, 37 were immobilized. Of the 40 Labiotermes labralis that got the white drop, 9 were immobilized.

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0?

- The article “Effect of Varying Solids Concentration and Organic Loading on the Performance of Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion Process” (S. Vandenburgh and T. Ellis, Water Environment Research, 2002:142–148) discusses experiments to determine the effect of the solids concentration on the performance of treatment methods for wastewater sludge. In the first experiment, the concentration of solids (in g/L) was 43.94 ± 1.18. In the second experiment, which was independent of the first, the concentration was 48.66 ± 1.76.
