In a study relating the degree of warping, in mm. of a copper plate (y) to temperature in °C (x), the following summary statistics were calculated: n = 40,
- a. Compute the
correlation r between the degree of warping and the temperature. - b. Compute the error sum of squares, the regression sum of squares, and the total sum of squares.
- c. Compute the least-squares line for predicting warping from temperature.
- d. Predict the warping at a temperature of 40°C.
- e. At what temperature will we predict the warping to be 0.5 mm?
- f. Assume it is important that the warping not exceed 0.5 mm. An engineer suggests that if the temperature is kept below the level computed in part (e), we can be sure that the warping will not exceed 0.5 mm. Is this a correct conclusion? Explain.

- One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.
