Chapter 13.4, Problem 41E
The shelf life of packaged food depends on many factors. Dry cereal is considered to be a moisture-sensitive product (no one likes soggy cereal!) with the shelf life determined primarily by moisture content. In a study of the shelf life of one particular brand of cereal, x = Time on shelf (days stored at 73°F and 50% relative humidity) and y = Moisture content (%) were recorded. The resulting data are from “Computer Simulation Speeds Shelf Life Assessments” (Package Engineering [1983]: 72–73).
- a. Summary quantities are
Find the equation of the estimated regression line for predicting moisture content from time on the shelf.
- b. Does the simple linear regression model provide useful information for predicting moisture content from knowledge of shelf time?
- c. Find a 95% interval for the moisture content of an individual box of cereal that has been on the shelf 30 days.
- d. According to the article, taste tests indicate that this brand of cereal is unacceptably soggy when the moisture content exceeds 4.1. Based on your interval in Part (c), do you think that a box of cereal that has been on the shelf 30 days will be acceptable? Explain.

Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a
period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate
affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission. If one of each model of cell phone is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use?
The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is an invasive species to the United States that has the potential to do significant agricultural damage. An ecologist is studying the relationship between the size of the female spotted lanternflies and the number of eggs they produce. The data are summarized below.
Length of insect: AVG = 1 inch, SD = 0.15 inchNumber of eggs: AVG = 40 eggs, SD = 5 eggsr = 0.2
Using regression, we can say that the average number of eggs produced by female spotted lanternflies who are 1.1 inch long is closest to...
