Chapter 12.4, Problem 12.34ACI
Boiler drum production. In a production facility, an accurate estimate of man-hours needed to complete a task is required. A manufacturer of boiler drums used regression to predict the number of man-hours needed to erect the drums in future projects. To accomplish this, data for 35 boilers were collected. In addition to man-hours (y), the variables measured were boiler capacity (x1 = lb/hr) , boiler design pressure (x2 = pounds per square inch or psi), boiler type (x3 = 1 if industry field erected, 0 if utility field erected), and drum type (x4 = 1 if steam, 0 if mud). The data are saved in the file. (The first five and last five observations are listed in the accompanying table.)
- a. Fit the model E(y) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + β4x4 to the data. Give the estimates of the β’.
- b. Conduct a test for the global utility of the model. Use α=.01.
- c. Find a 95% confidence interval for E(y) when x1 = 150,000, x2 = 500, x3 = 1, and x4 = 0. Interpret the result.

The datasetBody.xlsgives the percent of weight made up of body fat for 100 men as well as other variables such as Age, Weight (lb), Height (in), and circumference (cm) measurements for the Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Ankle, Biceps, and Wrist. We are interested in predicting body fat based on abdomen circumference.
Find the equation of the regression line relating to body fat and abdomen circumference.
Make a scatter-plot with a regression line. What body fat percent does the line predict for a person with an abdomen circumference of 110 cm?
One of the men in the study had an abdomen circumference of 92.4 cm and a body fat of 22.5 percent. Find the residual that corresponds to this observation.

Question 9 of 15
You want to estimate a model on car production (units) based on the previous year data on the number of cars sold (units), price of cars ($/unit), and total sales of cars ($). The regression
would be car production on the number of cars sold, price of cars, total sales of cars, and a constant. Describe the problem with this model.
