Chapter 20, Problem 61P
The data below were obtained from a creep test performed atroom temperature on a wire composed of 40% tin, 60% lead, andsolid core solder. This was done by measuring the increase in strainover time while a constant load was applied to a test specimen. Using a linear regression method, find (a ) the equation of these line that bestfits these data and (b ) the
If the line does not pass through the origin, force it to do so. Does thisnew line represent the data trend? Suggest a new equation that satisfies zero strain at zero time and also represents the data trend well.

Explain the value of the coefficient of determination and the overall significance of the model.
Write the resulting regression equation.
The data set was obtained from 21 days of operation of
a plant for the oxidation of ammonia to nitric acid. It is
desired to fit a multiple linear regression model to
predict Y = stack loss which is 10 times the percentage
of the ingoing ammonia to the plant that escapes from
the absorption column unabsorbed, as
Y = Bo + B1Xair.flow + B2 water.temp + B3 xacid.conc
Air.Flow represents the rate of operation of the plant.
Water.Temp is the temperature of cooling water
circulated through coils in the absorption tower.
Acid.Conc is the concentration of the acid circulating,
minus 50, times 10.
This is the result of the best subsets regression.
