The voltage output (y) of a battery was measured over a range of temperatures (x) from 0°C
to 50°C. The following figure is a scatterplot of voltage versus temperature, with three fitted
curves superimposed. The curves are the linear model y = Bo + B,x + ɛ, the quadratic model
y = Bo + B;x = B2x? + ɛ, and the cubic model y = Bo + B;x + Bx? + B3x² + ɛ. Based on the
plot, which of the models should be used to describe the data? Explain.
The linear model.
ii. The quadratic model.
iii. The cubic model.
iv. All three appear to be about equally good.

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.
