Chapter 11.4, Problem 38E
The accompanying data resulted from an experiment to study the nature of dependence of welding current on three factors: welding voltage, wire feed speed, and tip-to-workpiece distance. There were two levels of each factor (a 23 experiment) with two replications per combination of levels (the averages across replications agree with values given in the article “A Study on Prediction of Welding Current in Gas Metal Arc Welding,” J. Engr. Manuf., 1991: 64–69). The first two given numbers are for the treatment (1), the next two for a, and so on in standard order: 200.0, 204.2, 215.5, 219.5, 272.7, 276.9, 299.5, 302.7, 166.6, 172.6, 186.4, 192.0, 232.6, 240.8, 253.4, 261.6.

To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30.
