Question

In StatCrunch: In mining engineering, holes are often drilled through rock, using drill bits. It is expected that drilling time increases with depth. The business problem relates to whether drilling is faster using dry drilling holes or wet drilling holes. Data have been collected from a sample of drill holes that contains measurements of the time to drill each additional 5 feet (in minutes), the depth (in feet), and whether the hole was dry or wet. Use the data given below to complete parts (a) through (g). For parts (a) through (d), do not include an interaction term.

a. State the multiple regression equation that predicts the time, based on the depth, X1, and the type, X2.

Define X2 to be 0 for dry drilling holes and let X2 be 1 for wet drilling holes.

(Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Interpret the regression coefficients in (a) Holding constant whether the drilling hole is dry or wet, for each increase of 1 is the depth of the hole, the predicted time is estimated to increase by inutes. Holding constant the depth of the hole minutes over the the drilling hole being "wet or drv is estimated to increase the time by time it would take to drill a "wet or dry hole (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c. At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each independent variable makes a contribution to the regression model Test the first independent variable, Depth. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses -l The test statistic for the first independent variable, Depth, is t STAT (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The p-value for the first independent variable, Depth, i (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Since the p-value is less/greater" than the value of , "reject do not relect the null hypothesis. The first independent variable, Depth, "does not appear appears" to make a contribution to the regression model Test the second independent variable, Type. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. d. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope of the relationship between Time and Depth Taking into account the effect of "Depth Time, Type" the estimated effect of Depth increasing by 1 foot is to change the "Depth, Time, Type" by minutes (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) e. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope of the relationship between Time and Type. Taking into account the effect of Depth, Time, Type" the estimated effect of Depth increasing by 1 foot is

Explanation / Answer

a) The regression equation is
Time Y-cap = 8.18 + 0.00518 Depth(x1) - 2.43 Type_dry(x2)

b) 0.00518 and -2.43
c) H0: beta1 = 0
H1: beta1 not = 0
d) P-value = 0.000
since p-vlaue is less than the alpha, reject the null hypothesis. The first independent variable, Depeth, appears to make a contribution to the regression model,


d) The 95% confdience interval estimtae of the population slope (7.8453, 8.5189) minutes
