In biofiltration of wastewater, air discharged from a treatment facility is passed through a damp porous membrane that causes contaminants to dissolve in water and be transformed into harmless products. The accompanying data on x = inlet temperature (°C) and y = removal efficiency (%) was the basis for a

Calculated summary quantities are Σxi = 384.26, Σyi = 3149.04,
- a. Does a scatterplot of the data suggest appropriateness of the simple linear regression model?
- b. Fit the simple linear regression model, obtain a point prediction of removal efficiency when temperature = 10.50, and calculate the value of the corresponding residual.
- c. Roughly what is the size of a typical deviation of points in the scatterplot from the least squares line?
- d. What proportion of observed variation in removal efficiency can be attributed to the model relationship?
- e. Estimate the slope coefficient in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision, and interpret your estimate.
- f. Personal communication with the authors of the article revealed that there was one additional observation that was not included in their scatterplot: (6.53, 96.55). What impact does this additional observation have on the equation of the least squares line and the values of s and r2?
