In the manufacture of synthetic fiber, the fiber is often "set" by subjecting it to high temperatures. The object is to improve the shrinkage properties of the fiber. In a test of 25 yarn specimens, the relationship between temperature in °C (x) and shrinkage in % (y) was squares was Ey; - 9 = 57.313, and the estimated error variance was s =" 0.0670. Compute the coefficient of determination ?.

After ingesting 15 mL of 95% alcohol, the blood alcohol level of a 75 kg adult male rises rapidly to a maximum level then gradually decreases over time. Measurements of the subject's blood alcohol level at time t (in minutes) since the maximum blood alcohol level was observed gave the following results: Time t (in minutes) Blood alcohol level, B (in mg/L) 10 25 60 70 90 150 160 130 70 60 40 20 a) Using least squares regression, determine an equation of the form B= Be-kt that best fits the relationship shown. You do not need to graph the data. (Note any transformations you have applied to your data: x→, y→, round the values that appear in your final equation to three significant figures, and use the correct variable names...not x and y.)| b) Using your equation from part a), estimate the time t at which the subject's blood alcohol level will be 90 mg/L? Round your answer to the nearest minute.
