Chapter 13.7, Problem 13.66ACI
Bioreactor production of antibodies. Benchtop bioreactors are used to produce antibodies for anti-cancer drugs. Engineers calibrate bioreactors in order to maximize production. The African Journal of Biotechnology (December 2011) published a study designed to achieve a high percentage of antibody production from a bioreactor. The variable of interest was the natural logarithm of the number of viable cells produced in a bioreactor run. Data were collected for a sample of four bioreactor runs every 6 hours for 20 consecutive time periods. These data (simulated from information provided in the article) are listed in the accompanying table. Engineers have specified the following for the bioreactor runs: target mean = 6.3, LSL = 5.9, and USL = 6.5. Run a complete capability analysis on the data. How would you categorize the performance of the process?

The November 24, 2001, issue of The Economist published economic data for 15
industrialized nations. Included were the percent changes in gross domestic product (GDP),
industrial production (IP), consumer prices (CP), and producer prices (PP) from Fall 2000
to Fall 2001, and the unemployment rate in Fall 2001 (UNEMP). An economist wants to
construct a model to predict GDP from the other variables. A fit of the model
GDP = , + P,IP + 0,UNEMP + f,CP + P,PP + €
yields the following output:
The regression equation is
GDP = 1.19 + 0.17 IP + 0.18 UNEMP + 0.18 CP – 0.18 PP

When wildebeest are more abundant, they graze the grass more heavily, so there are fewer fires and moretrees grow. Lions feed more successfully when there are more trees, so the lion population increases. Thedata on one part of this cycle, wildebeest abundance (in thousands of animals) and the percent of the grassarea that burned in the same year are on the spreadsheet.
To what extent do these data support the claim that more wildebeest reduce the percent of grasslands that burn?
How rapidly does burned area decrease as the number of wildebeest increases?
To answer these questions, create a scatterplot and add the regression line. Describe the scatterplot. Interpret the slope and intercept in context of the problem.
Does the intercept explanation make sense in the real world? Find the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination.
What do they tell us about the relationship between number of wildebeest and percent of grassland burned?
