Snowpacks contain a wide spectrum of pollutants thatmay represent environmental hazards. The article“Atmospheric PAH Deposition: Deposition Velocitiesand Washout Ratios” (J. of EnvironmentalEngineering, 2002: 186–195) focused on the depositionof polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The authors proposeda multiple regression model for relating depositionover a specified time period (y, in mg/m2) to tworather complicated predictors x1 (mg-sec/m3) and x2 (mg/m2), defined in terms of PAH air concentrations forvarious species, total time, and total amount of precipitation.Here is data on the species fluoranthene andcorresponding Minitab output:obs x1 x2 flth1 92017 .0026900 278.782 51830 .0030000 124.533 17236 .0000196 22.654 15776 .0000360 28.685 33462 .0004960 32.666 243500 .0038900 604.707 67793 .0011200 27.698 23471 .0006400 14.189 13948 .0004850 20.6410 8824 .0003660 20.6011 7699 .0002290 16.6112 15791 .0014100 15.0813 10239 .0004100 18.0514 43835 .0000960 99.7115 49793 .0000896 58.9716 40656…
Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-
removing fluids are used in machining operations to cool
and lubricate the tool and workpiece. Mist generation is a
concern to OSHA, which has recently lowered substantially
the workplace standard. The article "Variables Affecting
Mist Generaton from Metal Removal Fluids"
(Lubrication Engr., 2002: 10-17) gave the accompanying
data on x = fluid-flow velocity for a 5% soluble oil (cm/sec)
and y = the extent of mist droplets having diameters smaller
than 10 μm (mg/m³):

a. The investigators performed a simple linear regres-
sion analysis to relate the two variables. Does a scat-
terplot of the data support this strategy?
b. What proportion of observed variation in mist can be
attributed to the simple linear regression relationship
between velocity and mist?
c. The investigators were particularly interested in the
impact on mist of increasing velocity from 100 to

A researcher interested in explaining the level of foreign reserves for the country of
Barbados estimated the following multiple regression model using yearly data
spanning the period 2001 to 2016:
FR=a+BOIL+yEXP+8FDI
Where FR = yearly foreign reserves ($000's), OIL = annual oil prices, EXP =
yearly total exports ($000's) and FDI = annual foreign direct investment ($000's).
