ch 13. 3: 

 

United Oil Company is attempting to develop a reasonably priced unleaded gasoline that will deliver higher gasoline mileages than can be achieved by its current unleaded gasolines. As part of its development process, United Oil wishes to study the effect of two independent variables—\(x_1\), amount of gasoline additive RST (0, 1, or 2 units), and \(x_2\), amount of gasoline additive XST (0, 1, 2, or 3 units), on gasoline mileage, \(y\). Mileage tests are carried out using equipment that simulates driving under prescribed conditions. The combinations of \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) used in the experiment, along with the corresponding values of \(y\), are given below.

| RST Units \((x_1)\) | XST Units \((x_2)\) | Gas Mileage \((y, \text{mpg})\) |
