Assignment 3 TQM

This document discusses two linear regression analyses: 1) A regression of paper strength on percent hardwood content using 10 samples, finding the model, testing significance, and getting a confidence interval. 2) A regression of oxygen purity on pollution count (ppm) using 15 samples, fitting the model, testing significance, and obtaining a confidence interval.

(a) Fit a linear regression model relating strength to percent hardwood.

(b) Test the model in part (a) for significance of regression.

(c) Find a 95 percent confidence interval on the parameter

4.38 A plant distills liquid air to produce oxygen , nitrogen, and argon. The percentage of
impurity in
the oxygen is thought to be linearly related to the amount of impurities in the air as measured
by the
pollution count in part per million (ppm). A sample of plant operating data is shown below.
Purity(%) 93.3 92.0 92.4 91.7 94.0 94.6 93.6 93.1 93.2 92.9 92.2 91.3 90.1 91.6 91.9
Pollution count (ppm) 1.10 1.45 1.36 1.59 1.08 0.75 1.20 0.99 0.83 1.22 1.47 1.81 2.03 1.75

(a) Fit a linear regression model to the data.

(b) Test for significance of regression.

(c) Find a 95 percent confidence interval
