Chapter 8, Problem 1SE

The article “Advances in Oxygen Equivalence liquations for Predicting the Properties of Titanium Welds” (D. Harwig, W. Ittiwattana, and H. Castner, The Welding Journal, 2001:126s–136s) reports an experiment to predict various properties of titanium welds. Among other properties, the elongation (in %) was measured, along with the oxygen content and nitrogen content (both in percent). The following MINITAB output presents results of fitting the model

Elongation = β 0 + β 1 Oxygen + β 2 Nitrogen + β 3 Oxygen Nitrogen

To determine

Find the predicted elongation percent of a weld with 0.15% of oxygen content and 0.01% of nitrogen content.

Answer to Problem 1SE

The predicted elongation percent of a weld with 0.15% of oxygen content and 0.01% of nitrogen content is likely to be 24.6%.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The data represents the MINITAB output of the regression model Elongation=β0+β1Oxygen+β2Nitrogen+β3Oxygen.Nitrogen in order to determine the effect of oxygen content and nitrogen content in elongation percent of titanium welds.

Multiple linear regression model:

A multiple linear regression model is given as yi=β0+β1x1i+...+βkxki+εi where yi is the response variable, and x1i,x2i,...,xki are the k predictor variables. The quantities β0,β1,...,βk are the slopes corresponding to x1i,x2i,...,xki respectively.β^0 is the estimated intercept of the line, from the sample data.

The ‘Coefficient’ column of the regression analysis MINITAB output gives the slopes corresponding to the respective variables stored in the column ‘Predictor’.

Let x1,x2 be the Oxygen content % and Nitrogen content %.

From the accompanying MINITAB output, the intercept is b0=46.802.

The estimates of the slopes are:

b1(Oxygen)=130.11

b2(Nitrogen)=807.10

b3(Oxygen×Nitrogen)=3,580.5

Thus, using the definition of a multiple regression model, the multiple regression equation is:

Elongation^=46.802130.11Oxygen807.10Nitrogen+3,580.5Oxygen×Nitrogen.

Here, Oxygencontent=0.15 and Nitrogencontent=0.01.

Predicted elongation percent of a weld:

Elongation^=46.802130.11Oxygen807.10Nitrogen+3,580.5Oxygen×Nitrogen=46.802(130.11×0.15)(807.10×0.01)+(3,580.5×0.15×0.01)=24.6

Thus, the predicted elongation percent of a weld with 0.15% of oxygen content and 0.01% of nitrogen content is likely to be 24.6%.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Find the change between the elongation percent of the two welds when the nitrogen content is 0.006% for both the welds with one weld containing 0.05% more oxygen content.

Answer to Problem 1SE

The elongation percent of two welds differ by –5.43% when the nitrogen content is 0.006% for both the welds with one weld containing 0.05% more oxygen content.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

Slope in a multiple regression equation:

The slope βi in a multiple regression equation is the amount of change in the response variable, y^, due to unit increase in the corresponding predictor variable, xi.

The multiple regression line is,

Elongation^=46.802130.11Oxygen807.10Nitrogen+3,580.5Oxygen×Nitrogen.

The coefficient or slope of Oxygen content in the regression model is b1(Oxygen)=130.11.

From this it can be said that, the value of elongation percent decreases by 130.11 for a 1% increase in Oxygen content, provided the effects of Nitrogen content is accounted for.

Here, both the welds have same Nitrogen content 0.006% and one weld has 0.05% more oxygen content than the other.

The change between the elongation percent of two welds is,

0.05b1+(0.05×0.006×b3)=0.05×130.11+(0.05×0.006×3,580.5)=6.5055+1.074=5.4315

Thus, the elongation percent of two welds differ by –5.43% when the nitrogen content is 0.006% for both the welds with one weld containing 0.05% more oxygen content.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Check whether it is possible to estimate the change in the elongation percent of the two welds when the nitrogen content is same for both the welds with one weld containing 0.005% more oxygen content.

If possible, predict the change.

Answer to Problem 1SE

No, it is not possible to estimate the change in the elongation percent of the two welds when the nitrogen content is same for both the welds with one weld containing 0.005% more oxygen content.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

Slope in a multiple regression equation:

The slope βi in a multiple regression equation is the amount of change in the response variable, y^, due to unit increase in the corresponding predictor variable, xi.

The multiple regression line is,

Elongation^=46.802130.11Oxygen807.10Nitrogen+3,580.5Oxygen×Nitrogen.

Here, the elongation is dependent on the nitrogen content, oxygen content and the interaction of nitrogen and oxygen content.

Hence, the coefficient of Oxygen×Nitrogen is also required to find the predicted change in elongation percent associated with 0.005% more oxygen content. Since, the value of the nitrogen content is necessary in the specified case.

Therefore, it is not possible to determine the change in the elongation percent only with the value of oxygen content.

Thus, it is not possible to estimate the change in the elongation percent of the two welds when the nitrogen content is same for both the welds with one weld containing 0.005% more oxygen content.
