In the article “An Investigation of the Ca–CO3–CaF2–K2SiO3–SiO2–Fe Flux System Using the Submerged Arc Welding Process on HSLA-100 and AISI-1018 Steels” (G. Fredrickson, M.S. thesis, Colorado School of Mines, 1992), the carbon equivalent P of a weld metal is defined to be a linear combination of the weight percentages of carbon (C), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), silicon (Si), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), and boron (B). The carbon equivalent is given by

- The article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp.59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5°C using alpha (a) = 0.05. This problem is a test on what population parameter? What is the null and alternative hypothesis? What are the Significance level and type of test? What standardized test statistic will be used? What is the standard test statistic? What is the Statistical Decision?

- An article in Biotechnology Progress [“Optimization of Conditions for Bacteriocin Extraction in PEG/Salt Aqueous Two-Phase Systems Using Statistical Experimental Designs” (2001, Vol. 17, pp. 366–368)] reported an experiment to investigate and optimize the extraction of nisin in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). Nisin recovery was the dependent variable (y). The two regressor variables were the concentration (%) of PEG 4000 (indicated as x1) and the concentration (%) of Na2SO4 (indicated as x2). The data is shown below. a) Find the fit parameters of the proposed model. b) Establish, by means of a hypothesis test, if the regression is significant. c) State, if the regression coefficients are significant. d) Evaluate R2 as well as R_adjusted^2. e) Construct and analyze the residual plot.arrow_forwardIn a typical multiple linear regression model where x1 and x2 are non-random regressors, the expected value of the response variable y given x1 and x2 is denoted by E(y | 2,, X2). Build a multiple linear regression model for E (y | *,, *2) such that the value of E(y | x1, X2) may change as the value of x2 changes but the change in the value of E(y | X1, X2) may differ in the value of x1 .

- Here are some data I found on the enzyme activity of mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI) and MPI genotypes in the amphipod crustacean Platorchestia platensis. Because I didn't know whether sex also affected MPI activity, I separated the amphipods by sex. F and S stand for fast and slow respectively, and have to do with electrophoretic mobility on an agarose gel. FF, FS, and SS then reflect genotypes with FS being the heterozygote.

Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke.
