In a study of the relationship between the Brinell hardness (x) and tensile strength in ksi (y) of specimens of cold drawn copper, the least-squares line was y = −196.32 + 2.42x. Predict the tensile strength of a specimen whose Brinell hardness is 102.7. If two specimens differ in their Brinell hardness by 3, by how much do you predict their tensile strengths to differ?
Each month for several months, the average temperature in °C (x) and the number of pounds of steam (y) consumed by a certain chemical plant were measured. The least-squares line computed from the resulting data is y = 245.82 + 1.13x. Predict the number of pounds of steam consumed in a month where the average temperature is 65°C. If two months differ in their average temperatures by 5°C, by how much do you predict the number of pounds of steam consumed to differ?
A student wanted to study the effects of a new type of plant food on the growth of a particular type of flower. Using five different concentrations of food, the plants were then allowed to grow over a 2-month period. At the end of the 2 months, the heights of the plants were measured. A regression analysis was completed, and the relationship was found to be linear with the least squares equation of
ŷ = 3.31 + 1.37x,
where y is the height of the plant and x is the concentration of the plant food. The standard error for the slope was found to be 0.39.
(a)
Calculate the test statistic for a hypothesis test for the slope. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(b)
A hypothesis test was done for the slope of the least squares regression line, and a P-value of 0.0056 was found. Which of the following conclusions is appropriate? (Use
? = 0.05.)
Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence of a linear relationship between the concentration…
