Similarly,
b.
Construct a diagnostic plot for checking the appropriate of power model.
Answer to Problem 17E
The diagnostic plot is given below:
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to construct a diagnostic plot is given below:
- Choose Stats>Regression> Regression.
- Select Simple and click OK
- Under Response, choose the column containing ln(y).
- Under Predictors, choose the column containing ln(x).
- Click Graphs, select residuals versus fits.
- Click OK.
Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:
The residual plot versus fitted values shows that the errors are randomly distributed with mean 0. This tells that the power model is appropriate to use for the given data.
The R-square value is 96% which tells that ln of mass rate of burning x can explain 96% of the variation in ln of flame length.
Hence, a power model is appropriate.
c.

P-value:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to find the P-value is given below:
- Choose Graph>Probability distribution Plot>View Probability.
- Select t, enter 11 for degrees of freedom.
- Under Shaded Area tab, select X value and click on Both tails.
- Enter 1.032 for X value.
- Click OK.
Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:
Conclusion:
The P-value is 0.1621 and the level of significance is 0.05.
The P-value is greater than the level of significance is 0.05.
That is, 0.1621>0.05.
Thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that
d.
Test the hypothesis that the whether the median flame with 5.0 burning rate is twice the median flame length when the burning rate is 2.5 or not.
Answer to Problem 17E
There is no sufficient evidence to conclude the median flame with 5.0 burning rate is twice the median flame length when the burning rate is 2.5
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The median flame with 5.0 burning rate is twice the median flame length when the burning rate is 2.5 can be expressed as,
The hypothesis test is given below:
Test statistic:
=3.265
P-value:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to find the P-value is given below:
- Choose Graph>Probability distribution Plot>View Probability.
- Select t, enter 11 for degrees of freedom.
- Under Shaded Area tab, select X value and click on Both tails.
- Enter 3.26 for X value.
- Click OK.
Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:
Thus, the P-value is
Conclusion:
The P-value is 0.008 and the level of significance is 0.01.
The P-value is lesser than the level of significance.
That is 0.008<0.01.
Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Thus, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude the median flame with 5.0 burning rate is twice the median flame length when the burning rate is 2.5.
