When the monthly sales of a product are subject to seasonal fluctuations, a curve that approximates the sales data might have the form
y = β0 + β1x + β2 sin (2πx/12)
where x is the time in months. The term β0 + β1x gives the basic sales trend, and the sine term reflects the seasonal changes in sales. Give the design matrix and the parameter

- Suppose that in a certain chemical process the reaction time y (hr) is related to the temperature (°F) in the chamber in which the reaction takes place according to the simple linear regression model with equation y = 5.40 -0.01x and a=0.08. USE SALT (a) What is the expected change in reaction time for a 1°F increase in temperature? For an 8°F increase in temperature? 1°F increase hr hr 8°F increasearrow_forwardSuppose that in a certain chemical process the reaction time y (hr) is related to the temperature (°F) in the chamber in which the reaction takes place according to the simple linear regression model with equation y = 5.10 0.01x and a = 0.085. USE SALT (a) What is the expected change in reaction time for a 1°F increase in temperature? For a 9°F increase in temperature? 1°F increase hr hr 9°F increase (b) What is the expected reaction time when temperature is 220°F? When temperature is 260°F? 220°F hr ✓hr 260°F 2.5 (c) Suppose five observations are made independently on reaction time, each one for a temperature of 260°F. What is the probability that all five times are between 2.37 and 2.63 hours? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (d) What is the probability that two independently observed reaction times for temperatures 1° apart are such that the time at the higher temperature exceeds the time at the lower temperature?
