You are asked to do quality control and quality assurance during the determination of lead concentration in a city’s tap water using ICP-AES. Plotting ICP -AES signal as a function of lead concentration (in ppb) gave you a linear regression equation of y = 1.97x + 1.50 with an R^2=0.99. The instrumental response (signal) had a standard deviation of 0.75. What is the limit of quantitation in terms of lead concentration (ppb) of this instrumental method?

Acrylamide is a chemical that is sometimes found in cooked starchy foods and which is thought to increase the risk of certain kinds of cancer. The paper "A Statistical Regression Model for the Estimation of Acrylamide Concentrations in French Fries for Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Assessment"t describes a study to investigate the effect of x = y = acrylamide concentration (in micrograms per kg) in French fries. The data in the accompanying table are approximate values read from a graph that appeared in the paper. frying time (in seconds) and %3D Frying Time Acrylamide Concentration 150 155 240 115 240 190 270 180 300 140 300 265
A pumpkin farmer wants to create a linear regression model to predict the circumference of a pumpkin (Y-variable) from its weight (X-variable). He samples 40 pumpkins from his pumpkin patch and the mean weight is 14 lbs with a standard deviation of 1 lb. The mean circumference is 50 inches with a standard deviation of 10 inches. The correlation between pumpkin weight and circumference is r = 0.50. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting circumference from weight? 7 1 5 3
In a sample of cars reviewed by Motor Trend magazine, the mean horsepower (hp) was 150 hp with a standard deviation of 36 hp. The mean weight (lbs) was 2500 lbs with a standard deviation of 720 lbs. Assume the relationship between weight and horsepower is linear and has a correlation of r = +0.55. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable)? using the value of the slope you found, now compute the intercept of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable). 850 550 1150 250
A botanist found a correlation between the length of an aspen leaf and its surface area to be 0.94. Why does thecorrelation value of 0.94 not necessarily indicate that a linear model is the most appropriate model for therelationship between length of an aspen leaf and its surface area? (A) The value must be exactly 1 or to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (B) The value must be 0 to indicate a linear model is the most appropriate model. (C) A causal relationship should be established first before determining the most appropriate model. (D) The value of 0.94 implies that only 88% of the data have a linear relationship. (E) Even with a correlation value of 0.94, it is possible that the relationship could still be better represented by a nonlinear model.
A clothing manufacturer wants to estimate the amount of scrap cloth generated each day by its fabric cutting machines. Eight potential independent variables have been identified. These include the following. = amount of cloth run through cutting machines (in square feet) X2 = machine cutting speed (in feet per minute) age of machine (in years) The manufacturer selects 6 of the candidate independent variables to use in a multiple regression model for estimating y, the amount of scrap cloth (in square feet). Using data collected from 24 different cutting machines operating on different days, the model y = Bo+B1*1 +B,x2+ + Bax, is fit to the data. Fill in the blanks in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) table associated with this model. Do all ... calculations to at least three decimal places.
Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. The decrease in blood pressure y will vary about this subpopulation mean. What is the distribution of y for this subpopulation?
