The article "Mathematical Modeling of the Argon-Oxygen Decarburization Refining Process of Stainless Steel: Part II. Application of the Model to Industrial Practice" (J. Wei and D. Zhu, Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, 2001:212-217) presents the carbon content (in mass %) and bath temperature (in K) for 32 heats of austenitic stainless steel. These data are shown in the following table. Carbon % Temp. 1975 19 23 1947 22 1954 16 1992 17 1965 18 1971 12 2046 24 1945 17 1984 20 1991
The article "Experimental Measurement of Radiative Heat Transfer in Gas-Solid Suspension Flow System" (G. Han, K. Tuzla, and J. Chen, AIChe Journal, 2002:1910- 1916) discusses the calibration of a radiometer. Several measurements were made on the electromotive force readings of the radiometer (in volts) and the radiation flux (in kilowatts per square meter). The results (read from a graph) are presented in the following table. Heat flux (y) 15 31 51 55 67 89 Signal output (x) 1.08 2.42 4.17 4.46 5.17 6.92 Compute the least-squares line for predicting heat flux from the signal output. If the radiometer reads 3.00 V, predict the heat flux. If the radiometer reads 8.00 V, should the heat flux be predicted? If so, predict it. If not, explain why. C.
17.7 Butterfly wings. Researchers studied the morphological attributes of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), a species that undertakes large seasonal migrations over North America. They measured the forewing weight (in milligrams, mg) of a sample of 92 monarch butterflies, all of which had been reared in captivity in identical conditions.° Figure 17.4 shows the output from the statistical software JMP. (The data are also available in the Large.Butterfly the data file if you wish to practice working with your own software.) Estimate with 95% confidence the mean forewing weight of monarch butterflies reared in captivity.
