Chapter 17, Problem 13P

An investigator has reported the data tabulated below. It is known that such data can be modeled by the following equation

x = e ( y b ) / a

where a and b are parameters. Use a transformation to linearize this equation and then employ linear regression to determine a and b. Based on your analysis predict y at x = 2.6 .

x 1 2 3 4 5
y 0.5 2 2.9 3.5 4

In experimental studies conducted on bacteria in the bioprocess laboratory, bacterial growth rate (Y) was measured in response to different concentrations of the substrate (fattening) substance added to the fattening medium. The table below gives the results. Since it is known that these data fit the Y=aX^b model, write the model by finding the constants contained in the regression model and roughly draw the graph manually. Observation Substrate Concentration (X) Growth rate (Y) 1 360 90 2 165 105 3 21 21 4 23 26 5 11 14 6 18 28
According to the summary result of linear regression model between A and B obtained from R given below, we can fit a regression line. Assume thatA has any value. If we decrease the value of A by 3, how would Y be affected?a) 58.8945 decreaseb) 58.8945 increasec) 29.8827 increased) 49.5142 decreasee) 29.8827 decrease
