Chapter 13.4, Problem 42E
For the cereal data of the previous exercise, the
13.45 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).
