The relationship between yield of maize, date of planting, and planting density was investigated in an article. Let the variables be defined as follows.
y = percent maize yield
x = planting date (days after April 20)
z = planting density (plants/ha)
The following regression model with both quadratic terms where x₁ = x, X₂ = Z, X3 = x² and x4 = 2² provides a good description of the relationship between y and
the independent variables.
y =a +B₁x₁ + B₂X₂ + B3X3+B₁x₁ + e
(a) If a = 21.07, B₁ = 0.653, B₂ = 0.0022, B3 = -0.0207, and B4 = 0.00002, what is the population regression function?
y = 509
X
(b) Use the regression function in Part (a) to determine the mean yield for a plot planted on May 7 with a density of 41,182 plants/ha. (Give the exact
answer.)
(c) Would the mean yield be higher for a planting date of May 7 or May 23 (for the same density)?
The mean yield would be higher for [May 7

A particular article presented data on y = tar content (grains/100 ft³) of a gas stream as a function of x₁ = rotor speed (rev/min) and x₂ = gas
inlet temperature (°F). The following regression model using X₁, X2, X3 = ×₂² and ×4 = X₁X₂ was suggested.
(mean y value) = 86.5 – 0.121x₁ +5.07x2 - 0.0706x3 + 0.001x4
(a) According to this model, what is the mean y value (in grains/100 ft³) if x₁ = 3,400 and x₂ = 55.
grains/100 ft³
(b) For this particular model, does it make sense to interpret the value of ₂ as the average change in tar content associated with a 1-degree
increase in gas inlet temperature when rotor speed is held constant? Explain.
Yes, since there are no other terms involving X2.
O Yes, since there are other terms involving X₂.
● No, since there are other terms involving X2.
O No, since there are no other terms involving X2.
