An electrochemical engineer has manufactured a new type of fuel cell (a type of battery)which has to undergo testing to prove its duration: the time it takes to go from fullycharged to completely uncharged, under a fixed nominal load. From the computational simulation models she has, the variance of the duration is σ2 = 4 h2 (hours squared)but she wants to estimate the mean duration time μ. To achieve this she is determinedto do the tests multiple times in independent but identical conditions. Can you findwhat is the smallest number of these tests that she has to do in order for her estimatedmean duration to be within ±0.2 h tolerance of the true mean with 95% certainty

Given that Population standard deviation =2 Margin of error =E =0.2

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on x = absorbance and y = wrinkle resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper "Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with Infrared Spectroscopy".† x 0.115 0.126 0.183 0.246 0.282 0.344 0.355 0.452 0.491 0.554 0.651 y 334 342 355 363 365 372 381 392 400 412 420 Here is regression output from Minitab: Predictor Constant absorb S = 3.60498 Coef 321.878 156.711 SOURCE Regression Residual Error Total SE Coef 2.483 6.464 R-Sq = 98.5% DF 1 9 10 SS 7639.0 117.0 7756.0 T 129.64 24.24 0.000 0.000 R-Sq (adj) = 98.3% MS 7639.0 13.0 F P 587.81 (a) Does the simple linear regression model appear to be…
Find the least square regression line.
Given the “data” determined by y = x^3 + (x-1)^2 with x = 0.1, 1.2, 2.3, and 2.9, calculate SSTO, SSR, and R^2. Then recalculate these using x = 0.3, 1, 2.45, and 2.8. Does where you collect your data (i.e., which values of x) appear to impact your interpretation of how good the linear model fits?.
2. I surveyed 150 adults in the U.S. and asked them how many hours of TV the watched on average per week. I then ran a regression of # of hours of TV on whether or not they were a college graduate (=1 if yes, =0 if no), their age in years, the number of children in their household, and whether or not they live a cold climate (=1 if latitude is greater than 41.2, =0 otherwise). The results fro the regression are shown in the table below.

If you have a b of 0.56 in a regression equation, what does this mean? For every one-unit increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 in y r = .31 On average, the variability of real scores around the regression line is 0.56 For every 1 standard deviation increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 standard deviations in y
An investigation into the relationship between an adolescent mother's age x in years and the birth weight y of her baby in grams yielded the regression equation y= - 1163.45 + 245.15x as well as r = .88369, r2= .78091, SSE = 337212.45, and s= 205.30844 1) What is the predicted birth weight for a baby brn to a 17 year old woman? 2) What is the propotion of the variability in the weights of babies born to adolescent mothers that is accounted for by the mother's age? 3) For every additional year in the mother's age that mean birth weight of the baby?
