A scientist is calibrating a laboratory apparatus that will be used to measure the concentration of ozone in air samples. To check the calibration, samples of known concentration are measured. The true concentrations in ppm (x) and the measured concentrations in ppm (y) data points are: (0, 1), (10, 11), (20, 21), (30, 28), (40, 37), (50, 48), (60, 56), (70, 68), (80, 75), (90, 86), (100, 96). Because of random error, repeated measurements on the same sample will vary. The apparatus is considered to be in calibration if its mean response is equal to the true concentration. To check the calibration, the linear model y = ß0 + ß1 + ε is fit. Ideally, the value of ß0 should be 0 and the value of ß1 should be 1. The least-squares estimate of the error standard deviation σ is closest to:

It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: x 5.25 5.50 5.75 6.00 6.75 y 15 41 29 63 46 Given that r=0.592 and ² = 0.35, should a least squares line be used for predictions if a coefficient of determination of more than 0.5 is required? O Since about 59.2% of the behavior of the y variable can be explained by the corresponding behavior of the x variable if we use the equation of the least-squares line, the…

pan's high population density has resulted in a multitude of resource-usage problems. One especially serious difficulty concerns waste removal. An article reported the development of a new compression machine for processing sewage sludge. An important part of the investigation involved relating the moisture content of compressed pellets (y, in %) to the machine's filtration rate (x, in kg-DS/m/hr).
