An article in the Fire Safety Journal (“The Effect of Nozzle Design on the Stability and Performance of Turbulent Water Jets,” Vol. 4, August 1981) describes an experiment in which a shape factor was determined for several different nozzle designs at six levels of jet efflux velocity. Interest focused on potential differences between nozzle designs (blocks), with velocity considered as a nuisance variable. The data are shown below:

The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is an invasive species to the United States that has the potential to do significant agricultural damage. An ecologist is studying the relationship between the size of the female spotted lanternflies and the number of eggs they produce. The data are summarized below.
Length of insect: AVG = 1 inch, SD = 0.15 inchNumber of eggs: AVG = 40 eggs, SD = 5 eggsr = 0.2
Using regression, we can say that the average number of eggs produced by female spotted lanternflies who are 1.1 inch long is closest to...
