![An article in Wood Science and Technology, "Creep in Chipboard, Part 3: Initial Assessment of the Influence of Moisture Content and
Level of Stressing on Rate of Creep and Time to Failure" (1981, Vol. 15, pp. 125-144) studied the deflection (mm) of particleboard from
stress levels of relative humidity. Assume that the two variables are related according to the simple linear regression model. The data
are shown below
