(c) What percentage of observed variation in steel weight loss can be attributed to the model relationship in combination with variation in deposition rate? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
__________%
(d) Because the largest x value in the sample greatly exceeds the others, this observation may have been very influential in determining the equation of the line. Delete this observation and recalculate the equation. (Round all numerical values to two decimal places.)
y* =
