Chapter 7.3, Problem 7E
The coefficient of absorption (COA) for a clay brick is the ratio of the amount of cold water to the amount of boiling water that the brick will absorb. The article “Effects of Waste Glass Additions on the Properties and Durability of Fired Clay Brick” (S. Chidiac and L. Federico, Can J Civ Eng, 2007:1458–1466) presents measurements of the (COA) and the pore volume (in cm3/g) for seven bricks. The results are presented in the following table.
| Pore volume | COA |
| 1.750 | 0.80 |
| 1.652 | 0.78 |
| 1.594 | 0.77 |
| 1.623 | 0.75 |
| 1.495 | 0.71 |
| 1.465 | 0.66 |
| 1.272 | 0.63 |
- a. Compute the least-squares line for predicting COA from pore volume.
- b. Compute the error standard deviation estimate s.
- c. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the slope.
- d. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean COA for bricks with pore volume 1.5 cm3/g.
- e. Can you conclude that the mean COA for bricks with pore volume 1.5 cm3/g is less than 0.75? Perform a hypothesis test and report the P-value.
- f. Find a 95% prediction interval for the COA of a particular brick whose pore volume is 1.5 cm3/g.

- In experiments to determine the effectiveness of drugs such as anti-fungal ointments that are applied to the skin, the concentration of the drug in a patient’s skin must be measured. The article “Determining Bioequivalence of Topical Dermatological Drug Products by Tape- Stripping” (W. Navidi, A. Hutchinson, et al., Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 2008:213–220) describes an improved method of measuring that is designed to ensure that all the drug in the skin is recovered. Assume that in an experiment using the old method, the mean amount of drug recovered from a sample of 49 patients was 105 ng with a standard deviation of 20 ng, and that in an experiment using the new method the mean amount of drug recovered in a sample of 35 patients was 117 ng with a standard deviation of 15 ng.
