Textbook Question
Chapter 8.1, Problem 18E
The article “Multiple Linear Regression for Lake lee and Lake Temperature Characteristics” (S. Gao and H. Stefan, Journal of Cold Regions Engineering, 1999:59–77) presents data on maximum ice thickness in mm (y), average number of days per year of ice cover (x1), average number of days the bottom temperature is lower than 8°C (x2), and the average snow depth in mm (x3) for 13 lakes in Minnesota. The data are presented in the following table.
- a. Fit the model y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + ε. For each coefficient, find the P-value for testing the null hypothesis that the coefficient is equal to 0.
- b. If two lakes differ by 2 in the average number of days per year of ice cover, with other variables being equal, by how much would you expect their maximum ice thicknesses to differ?
- c. Do lakes with greater average snow depth tend to have greater or lesser maximum ice thickness? Explain.

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
