Use upper-right corners to approximate the volume of the sediment. Also, approximate the
average depth of the sediment.
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. An article 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 regression analysis to relate the two variables. Does a scatter plot of the data support this strategy?
Yes, a scatter plot shows a reasonable linear relationship.
No, a scatter plot does not show a reasonable linear relationship.
(b) What proportion of observed variation in mist can be attributed to the simple linear regression relationship between velocity and mist? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) The investigators were particularly…
