The accompanying data on y 5 energy output (W) and x 5 temperature difference (°K) was provided by the authors of the article “Comparison of Energy and Exergy Efficiency for Solar Box and Parabolic Cookers” (J. of Energy Engr., 2007: 53–62). The article’s authors fit a cubic regression model to the data. Here is Minitab output from such a fit.

- The following table provides values of the function f(x,y). However, because of potential; errors in measurement, the functional values may be slightly inaccurately. Using the statistical package included with a graphical calculator or spreadsheet and critical thinking skills, find the function f(x,y)=a+bx+cy that best estimate the table where a, b and c are integers. Hint: Do a linear regression on each column with the value of y fixed and then use these four regression equations to determine the coefficient c. x y 0 1 2 3 0 4.02 7.04 9.98 13.00 1 6.01 9.06 11.98 14.96 2 7.99 10.95 14.02 17.09 3 9.99 13.01 16.01 19.02arrow_forwardIf your graphing calculator is capable of computing a least-squares sinusoidal regression model, use it to find a second model for the data.
