Question
In concrete, the porosity y (in %) is related to the unit weight x (in lbs/cf), with low porosity
associated with larger unit weights. A sample of n = 15 concrete samples were taken and the
following results tabulated:
x-values ranged from 99.0 - 120.0 lbs / cf
y-values ranged from 28.8 -10.8 %
Given: SSE = 11.43883
Compute the point estimate for the standard deviation, σ (to 3 decimal places).
