The accompanying data on y = Glucose concentration (g/L) and x = Fermentation lime (days) for a particular blend of malt liquor were read from a
- a. Construct a scatterplot for these data. Based on the scatterplot, what type of model would you suggest?
- b. Minitab output resulting from fitting a multiple regression model with x1 = x and x2 = x2 is shown here. Does this quadratic model specify a useful relationship between y and x?
The regression equation is
Y = 84.5 − 15.9X1 + 1.77X2
- c. Could the quadratic term be eliminated? That is, would a simple linear model have sufficed? Test using a 0.05 significance level.

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. For a helically threaded nail under the same conditions, the strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.47 and σ = 0.272. a) What is the mean withdrawal strength for annularly threaded nails? b) What is the mean withdrawal strength for helically threaded nails? c) For which type of nail is it more probable that the withdrawal strength will be greater than 50 N/mm? d) What is the probability that a helically threaded nail will have a greater withdrawal strength than the median for annularly threaded nails? e) An experiment is performed in which withdrawal…

The younger Neotropical termites secrete a liquid that lacks the blue component, so it is white in appearance.

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.

- Refer to Exercise 8.S.6. Analyze these data using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.arrow_forwardThe 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. Estimate the difference in the concentration between the two experiments, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.arrow_forwardConsider the following regression model Yt = β0 + β1 Ut + β2 Vt + β3 Wt + β4Xt + ∈t , where U, V, W, X and Y are economic variables observed from t = 1, . . . , 75, β0 , . . . , β4 are the model parameters and ∈t is the random disturbance term satisfying the classical assumptions. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is used to estimate the parameters, producing the following estimated model: Yt = 1.115 + 0.790*Ut − 0.327*Vt + 0.763*Wt + 0.456*Xt (0.405) (0.178) (0.088) (0.274) (0.017) where standard errors are given in parentheses, the R-squared = 0.941, the Durbin-Watson statistic is DW = 1.907 and the residual sum of squares is RSS = 0.0757.
