Question

Let y = wear life of a bearing, x1 = oil viscosity, and X2 = load. Suppose that the multiple regression model relating life to viscosity and load is Y = 125.0 + 7.75X1 + 0.0950x2-0.0090X1X2 + (a) What is the mean value of life when viscosity is 38 and load is 1120? 142.86 b) When viscosity is 34, what is the change in mean life associated with an increase of 1 in load? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.) 211 When viscosity is 38, what is the change in mean life associated with an increase of 1 in load? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.) 247

Explanation / Answer

(B)

When the viscosity is 34, the equation becomes

Y = 125 + 7.75*34 + 0.0950X2 -0.0090*34X2 + error

Y = 388.5 -0.211* X2 + error

Your answer is right, I guess writing the negative value (-0.211) can give the right answer instead of positive value.

(c)

When the viscosity is 38, the equation becomes

Y = 125 + 7.75*38 + 0.0950X2 -0.0090*38X2 + error

Y = 419.5 -0.247* X2 + error

Here also write -0.247 instead of 0.247
