Chapter 13.2, Problem 16E
Polyester fiber ropes are increasingly being used as components of mooring lines for offshore structures in deep water. The authors of the paper “Quantifying the Residual Creep Life of Polyester Mooring Ropes” (Intl. J. of Offshore and Polar Exploration, 2005: 223–228) used the accompanying data as a basis for studying how time to failure (hr) depended on load (% of breaking load):
| X | 77.7 | 77.8 | 77.9 | 77.8 | 85.5 | 85.5 |
| y | 1 5.067 | 552.056 | 127.809 | 7.611 | .124 | .077 |
| X | 89.2 | 89.3 | 73.1 | 85.5 | 89.2 | 85.5 |
| y | .008 | .013 | 49.439 | .503 | .362 | 9.930 |
| x | 89.2 | 85.5 | 89.2 | 82.3 | 82.0 | 82.3 |
| y | .677 | 5.322 | .289 | 53.079 | 7.625 | 155.299 |
A linear regression of log(time) versus load was fit. The investigators were particularly interested in estimating the slope of the true regression line relating these variables. Investigate the quality of the fit, estimate the slope, and predict time to failure when load is 80, in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision

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?

Which non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario?
In a study by Zuckerman and Heneghan, hemodynamic stresses were measured on subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An outcome variable of interest was the ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) measured in mm. A portion of the data appears in the following table. Baseline refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, and the term '5 minutes' refers to a measurement taken 5 minutes after baseline. Can we conclude that, on the basis of these data, among subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the average LVEDV levels change? Let a =.01.
