An article in the Journal of Environmental Engineering (1989, Vol. 115(3), pp. 608–619) reported the results of a study on the occurrence of sodium and chloride in surface streams in central Rhode Island. The following data are chloride concentration y (in milligrams per liter) and roadway area in the watershed x (in percentage). (5px5)

Y: 4.4 6.6 9.7 10.6 10.8 10.9 11.8 12.1 14.3 14.7 15.0 17.3 19.2 23.1 27.4 27.7 31.8 39.5 X: 0.19 0.15 0.57 0.70 0.67 0.63 0.47 0.70 0.60 0.78 0.81 0.78 0.69 1.30 1.05 1.06 1.74 1.62

a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Does a simple linear regression model seem appropriate here?

b) Fit the simple linear regression model using the method of least squares. Find an estimate of σ2 .

c) Test the significance of the regression coefficients, use =0.05.

d) Test the adequacy of the regression model, use =0.05.

e) Find the fitted value corresponding to x = 0 47. and the associated residual.

An article in the journal Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials (Vol. 6, 1989) reported the results of an analysis of the weight of calcium in standard cement and cement doped with lead. Reduced levels of calcium would indicate that the hydration mechanism in the cement is blocked and would allow water to attack various locations in the cement structure. Ten samples of standard cement had an average weight percent calcium of 90.0, with a sample standard deviation of 5.0 and...

10.2.9 An article in Radio Engineering and Electronic Physics (1980, Vol. 25, pp. 74-79) investigated the behavior of a stochastic generator in the presence of external noise. The number of periods was measured in a sample of 100 trains for each of two different levels of noise voltage, 100 and 150 mV. For 100 mV, the mean number of periods in a train was 7.9 with s1 = 2.6. For 150 mV, the mean was 6.9 with s2 = 2.4....

An article in the Journal of Aircraft (Vol. 23, 1986, pp.859–864) described a new equivalent plate analysis method formulation that is capable of modeling aircraft structures such as cranked wing boxes and that produces results similar to the more computationally intensive finite element analysis method. Natural vibration frequencies for the cranked wing box structure are calculated using both methods, and results for the first seven natural frequencies follow: Frequency Finite Element, Cycle/s Equivalent Plate, Cycle/s 1 14.58 14.76 2 48.52...

An article in Journal of Structural Engineering presents the results of an experiment that evaluated a standard method for estimating the brace force for a truss. In a sample of 360 short test trusses the method underestimated the force for 45 of them, and in a sample of 400 long test trusses, the method underestimated the force for 60 of them. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the underestimation rates for long and short trusses.

In the journal Mental Retardation, an article reported the results of a peer tutoring program to help mildly mentally retarded children learn to read. In the experiment, the mildly retarded children were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group received peer tutoring along with regular instruction, and the control group received regular instruction with no peer tutoring. There were n1 = n2 = 31 children in each group. The Gates-MacGintie Reading Test was given to both groups before instruction...
