Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2P
You perform experiments and determine the following values of heat capacity c at various temperatures T for a gas:
T | –50 | –30 | 0 | 60 | 90 | 110 |
c | 1270 | 1280 | 1350 | 1480 | 1580 | 1700 |
Use regression to determine a model to predict c as a function of T.

Data encountered in solving problems often do not fall exactly on the grid of
values provided by property tables, and linear interpolation between adjacent
table entries becomes necessary. Using the data provided here, estimate
i. the specific volume at T= 240 °Č, p = 1.25 MPa, in m/kg
ii. the temperature at p = 1.5 MPa, v = 0.1555 m/kg, in °C
ii. the specific volume at T = 220 °C, p = 1.4 MPa, in m'/kg

As an industrial engineer, you intend to use linear trend (or linear regression) method to solve a forecasting problem. You have decided to use the equation of y = m(x) + c to establish the relationship between the sales (y) and the related month (x). It is known that 8 consecutive months data (Jan to Aug) were used and they resulted to the following parameter values of m = 320 and c = 1017. Using the regression technique, estimate the percentage of sales improvement from December this year to June next year.
