Textbook Question
Chapter 8.1, Problem 18E
The article “Multiple Linear Regression for Lake lee and Lake Temperature Characteristics” (S. Gao and H. Stefan, Journal of Cold Regions Engineering, 1999:59–77) presents data on maximum ice thickness in mm (y), average number of days per year of ice cover (x1), average number of days the bottom temperature is lower than 8°C (x2), and the average snow depth in mm (x3) for 13 lakes in Minnesota. The data are presented in the following table.
- a. Fit the model y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + ε. For each coefficient, find the P-value for testing the null hypothesis that the coefficient is equal to 0.
- b. If two lakes differ by 2 in the average number of days per year of ice cover, with other variables being equal, by how much would you expect their maximum ice thicknesses to differ?
- c. Do lakes with greater average snow depth tend to have greater or lesser maximum ice thickness? Explain.

Assume we have data demonstrating a strong linear link between the amount of fertilizer applied to certain plants and their yield. Which is the independent variable in this research question?
The article "Earthmoving Productivity Estimation Using Linear Regression Techniques" (S.
Smith, Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1999:133–141) presents the
following linear model to predict earth-moving productivity (in m3 moved per hour):
Productivity = - 297.877 + 84.787x, + 36.806x, + 151.680x, – 0.081x, – 110.517x5
- 0.267.x, – 0.016x,x, +0.107.x,x5 + 0.0009448x,x, – 0.244x;x,
where
X1 = number of trucks
X2 = number of buckets per load
X3 = bucket volume, in m³
X4 = haul length, in m
X5 = match factor (ratio of hauling capacity to loading capacity)
X6 = truck travel time, in s
If the bucket volume increases by 1 m², while other independent variables are
unchanged, can you determine the change in the predicted productivity? If so,
determine it. If not, state what other information you would need to determine it.
b. If the haul length increases by 1 m, can you determine the change in the predicted
productivity? If so, determine it. If not, state what other…
