Chapter 1.3, Problem 17E
Freezing temperature. Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are liquids used in antifreeze and deicing solutions. Ethylene glycol is listed as a hazardous chemical by the Environmental Protection Agency, while propylene glycol is generally regarded as safe. Table 11 lists the freezing temperature for various concentrations (as a percentage of total weight) of each chemical in a solution used to deice airplanes. A linear regression model for the ethylene glycol data in Table 11 is
where
(A) Draw a
(B) Use the model to estimate the freezing temperature to the nearest degree of a solution that
is 30% ethylene glycol.
(C) Use the model to estimate the percentage of ethylene glycol in a solution that freezes at
15°F.

We have data on Lung Capacity of persons and we wish
to build a multiple linear regression model that predicts
Lung Capacity based on the predictors Age and
Smoking Status. Age is a numeric variable whereas
Smoke is a categorical variable (0 if non-smoker, 1 if
smoker). Here is the partial result from STATISTICA.

Which of the following statements is absolutely false?
A. The expected lung capacity of a smoker is expected
to be 0.648588 lower than that of a non-smoker.
B. The predictor variables Age and Smoker both
contribute significantly to the model.
C. For every one year that a person gets older, the lung
capacity is expected to increase by 0.555396 units,
holding smoker status constant.
D. For every one unit increase in smoker status, lung
capacity is expected to decrease by 0.648588 units,
holding age constant.
A study was done in diesel-powered light-duty pickup truck to see if humidity, air temperature, and barometric
pressure influence emission of nitrous oxide (in ppm). Emission measurements were taken at different times,
with varying experimental conditions.
a. Fit the multiple linear regression model.
b. Estimate the amount of nitrous oxide emitted for the conditions where humidity is 50%,
temperature is 76 deg F, and barometric pressure is 29.30.

The production of wine is a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry. In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data was collected from red wine variants of a certain type of wine. A sample of 12 wines is given. Develop a simple linear regression model to predict wine quality, measured on a scale from 0 (very bad) to 10 (excellent), based on alcohol content (%).
b. For these data, b0=4.4 and b1=0.2. Interpret the meaning of the slope,
b1, in this problem. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
The slope, b1, implies that for each increase of 1 wine quality rating, the alcohol content is expected to increase by the value of b1, in percentages.
B.
The slope, b1, implies that the alcohol content is equal to the value of b1,in percentages.
C.
The slope, b1, implies that for each increase of alcohol percentage of 1.0, the wine quality rating is expected to increase by the value of b1.
D.
The slope, b1, implies that…

- Turbid water is muddy or cloudy water. Sunlight is necessary for most life forms; thus turbid water is considered a threat to wetland ecosystems. Passive filtration systems are commonly used to reduce turbidity in wetlands. Suspended solids are measured in mg/l. Is there a relation between input and output turbidity for a passive filtration system and, if so, is it statistically significant? At a wetlands environment in Illinois, the inlet and outlet turbidity of a passive filtration system have been measured. A random sample of measurements are shown below. (Reference: EPA Wetland Case Studies.)

- Turbid water is muddy or cloudy water. Sunlight is necessary for most life forms; thus turbid water is considered a threat to wetland ecosystems.

(a) Rank-order the inlet readings using 1 as the largest data value. Also rank-order the outlet readings using 1 as the largest data value. Then construct a table of ranks to be used for a Spearman rank correlation test.

- A study examined the eating habits of 20 children at a nursery school. The variables measured for each child included: calories (the number of calories eaten at lunch), time (the time in minutes spent eating lunch), and sex (male=1, female=0). A multiple linear regression model using Y = calories, X1 = time, and X2 = sex led to the following model: y=547.65-2.85x1+10.67x2 For two children who spend the same amount of time eating, one male and one female, which child is predicted to consume more calories and by how much?arrow_forwardThe production of wine is a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry. In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data was collected from red wine variants of a certain type of wine. A sample of 12 wines is given.
