Question

The efficiency for a steel specimen immersed in a phosphating tank is the weight of the phosphate coating divided by the metal loss (both in mg/ft. An article gave the accompanying data on tank temperature (x) and efficiency ratio (y) Temp. 172 174 175 176 176 177 178 179 Ratio 0.80 1.27 1.36 0.97 1.11 1.08 1.04 1.86 Temp. 182 182 182 182 182 183 183 184 Ratio 1.43 1.68 1.71 2.23 2.13 0.78 1.37 0.88 Temp. 184 184 184 186 186 187 188 190 Ratio 1.75 2.00 2.68 1.41 2.46 2.98 1.95 3.06 (a) Determine the equation of the estimated regression line. (Round all numerical values to five decimal places.) y0.09529 + 1.50748x X (b) Calculate a point estimate for true average efficiency ratio when tank temperature is 184. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 19.0404 (c) Calculate the values of the residuals from the least squares line for the four observations for which temperature is 184. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (184, 0.88) (184, 1.75) (184, 2.00) (184, 2.68) Why do they not all have the same sign? These residuals do not all have the same sign because in the case of the second pair of observations, the observed efficiency ratio was equal to the predicted value. In the cases of the other pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were larger than the predicted value These residuals do not all have the same sign because in the cases of the first two pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were larger than the predicted value. In the cases of the last two pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were smaller than the predicted value These residuals do not all have the same sign because in the cases of the first two pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were smaller than the predicted value. In the case of the last two pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were larger than the predicted value These residuals do not all have the same sign because in the case of the third pair of observations, the observed efficiency ratio was equal to the predicted value. In the cases of the other pairs of observations, the observed efficiency ratios were smaller than the predicted value. (d) What proportion of the observed variation in efficiency ratio can be attributed to the simple linear regression relationship between the two variables? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The ratio value depends on temperature of solution. Thus, Temperature is independent variable (x) and ratio is dependent variable (y).

Using Regression analysis tool in Excel, the output obtained is as follows:

Regression Line equation is given as follows:

Y = a + bt

a = intercept = -15.6285

b = slope = 0.0953

Thus, the regression equation is y = -15.6285 + 0.0953x

a. y = -15.6285 + 0.0953x

b.

When, x = 184, y = -15.6285 + 0.0953(184) = 1.9044

Ratio when temperature is 184 = 1.9045

c.

Residual = Actual value y – calculated estimate of y

Residual = Actual - Estimate

Coefficient of Correlation (R), gives an idea of percentage of data points those fall within the results of the determined regression line. from regression output report R = 0.6844

Thus, for given data 68.44% of data points fall within the regression line
