Use Excel's Regression tool to answer the following questions. To copy the data set, highlight the table, press Ctrl-c, click on the Excel cell to which you want to copy, then press Ctrl-v.
Fill in Multiple Blanks
For all numerical answers, show one (1) digit to the
right of the decimal point, for example, 1.0, 1.2. Apply
the appropriate rounding rule if necessary. Hint: You can use the
“Format Cell” option in the Regression output so that it shows two
digits after the decimal point. Excel will automatically round the
values up or down, if necessary.
1. The estimated regression line is (enter the estimated
coefficients in the appropriate space):
yhat =____________ +____________ X1 +____________ X2
2. At 95% confidence, X1 (enter is, is not)
significantly related to Y.
3. At 95% confidence, X2 (enter is, is not)
significantly related to Y.
4. Predict Y when X1 = 94.8 and X2 = 11.2. Yhat = .
5. While testing for overall significance at 95% confidence, the
null hypothesis (shown below) (enter should, should not)
be rejected.
Ho: beta1 = beta2 = 0
Ha: At least one of the beta's does not equal 0
6. True or false? About 77% of the variability in Y is explained by
X1 and X2, and about 23% of the variability in Y is explained by
the other factors not included in the regression. (Enter
true, false).

Barney Smith Investment Advisors recently issued estimates for the state of the economy and the rate of return on each state of the economy. Alta Industries, Inc. is an electronics firm; Repo Men Inc. collects past due debts; and American Foam manufactures mattresses and various other foam products. Barney Smith also maintains an "index fund" which owns a market-weighted fraction of all publicly traded stocks; you can invest in that fund and thus obtain average stock market results. Given the situation as described, answer the following questions.
a. Calculate the expected rate of return on each alternative.
b. Calculate the standard deviation of returns on each alternative.
c. Calculate the coefficient of variation on each alternative.
d. Calculate the beta on each alternative.

A random sample of 19 wolf litters in Ontario, Canada, gave an average of x1 = 5.6 wolf pups per litter, with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 1.1. Another random sample of 6 wolf litters in Finland gave an average of x2 = 3.8 wolf pups per litter, with sample standard deviation s2 = 1.0.
(a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean μ, difference of means μ1 – μ2, or difference of proportions p1 – p2. Then solve the problem.
μ1 – μ2
μ

p
(b) Find an 99% confidence interval for μ1 –
μ2, the difference in population mean litter
size between Ontario and Finland. (Use 1 decimal place.)
| lower limit | |
| upper limit |
(c) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 99% level of confidence, does it appear that the average litter size of wolf pups in Ontario is greater than the average litter size in Finland?
Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that the average litter size of wolf pups is greater in Ontario.
Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we can not say that the average litter size of wolf pups is greater in Ontario.
We can not make any conclusions using this confidence interval.
Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that the average litter size of wolf pups is greater in Finland.

This is my lab and I am very confused regarding the calculations! It is supposes to demonstrate Le Chatelier’s principle.
After doing the following I need to calculate the molar absorbance for Co(H20)6 2+. The path length is 1cm and absorbance is .551. I got 5.51 L/mol *cm.
I also need to calculate the CoCl4 2- molar absorbance which I do not understand. The absorbance is .570 and the path length is 1cm. I do not know how to find the concentration.

2. Fill one cuvette about ¾ full with deionized water. This cuvette will be used as the blank, to zero the instrument.
3. Fill a second cuvette about ¾ full with 0.10 M Co(NO3)2 .6H2O.
4. Prepare 100 mL of a 0.010 M Co(NO3)2 . 6H2O solution. Add exactly 10.0 mL of 0.10 M Co(NO3)2*6H2O to a 100 mL volumetric flask and dilute with deionized water to the mark.
5. Use the 10.0 ml graduated cylinder to prepare a solution of [CoCl4]2-. To the 10 mL graduated cylinder add 1.0 mL of 0.010 M Co(NO3)2 * 6H2O (prepared in step 4). Carefully pipette 4.0 mL of 12 M HCl into the graduated cylinder so that the total volume is 5 mL. Mix well.
6. Fill the third cuvette about ¾ full with the solution from step 5.

A reputable engine company has been making carbureted spark-ignition engines that operate with an equivalence ratio = 1.0 and a compression ratio of 9:1 for years. In order to control emissions, the engines operate with 20% exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a three-way catalytic converter. Since the company’s market share is steadily dropping, they consider hiring a MEC graduate to rescue them. The ambitious young engineer proposes a port fuel-injected (PFI) design, which operates lean at 0.7 with a high compression ratio (15:1) and vigorous inlet swirl. The new engine has the spark-plug mounted at the center of the combustion chamber, while the production engine has the spark-plug at the side.
(a) Will the flame development period of the new chamber be shorter, longer, or about the same as the current design?
(b) Will the rate of the combustion of the new chamber be faster, slower, or about the same as the current design?
(c) Sketch the mass fraction burned vs. crank-angle curves for these two combustion chambers when spark-timing is set for maximum brake torque. Clearly label the sparktiming, ignition delay, and overall burn duration for each case.
(d) The engineer claims that the proposed lean-burn engine will have the same octane requirement as the production SI engine. Could this claim be true?
(e) Will the proposed lean-burn engine clearly develop greater power at full load than the current SI engine?
(f) Would there be any additional advantages or disadvantages if the proposed engine were direct-injected, stratified charge, instead of homogeneous, operating at the same overall equivalence ratio?
