The quality of the orange juice produced by a manufacturer (e. g., Minute Maid, Tropicana) is constantly monitored. There are numerous sensory and chemical components that combine to make the best-tasting orange juice. For example, one manufacturer has developed a quantitative index of the "sweetness" of orange juice. (The higher the index, the sweeter the juice.) Is there a relationship between the sweetness index and a chemical measure such as the amount of water-soluble pectin (parts per million) in the orange juice? Data collected on these two variables for 24 production runs at a juice manufacturing plant are shown in the table below. Suppose a manufacturer wants to use simple linear regression to predict the sweetness (y) from the amount of pectin (x).
Run Sweetness Index Pectin (ppm) Run Sweetness Index Pectin (ppm)
1 5.2 220 13 5.8 306
2 5.5 227 14 5.5 259
3 6 259 15 5.3 284
4 5.9 210 16 5.3 383
5 5.8 224 17 5.7 271
6 6 215 18 5.5 264
7 5.8 231 19 5.7 227
8 5.6 268 20 5.3 263
9 5.6 239 21 5.9 232
10 5.9 212 22 5.8 220
11 5.4 410 23 5.8 246
12 5.6 256 24 5.9 241
a. Find the least squares line for the data.
b. What do ?0 and ?1 represent in the words of the problem?
c. Predict the sweetness index if amount of pectin in the orange juice is 300 ppm.
d. Find the values of SSE, s2, and s for this regression.
e. Explain why it is difficult to give a practical interpretation to s2.
f. Give a practical interpretation of the value of s.
g. Use the results of the regression to form a 95% confidence interval for the slope, b1.
h. Find and interpret the coefficient of determination, r2, and the coefficient of correlation, r.
i. A 90% confidence interval for the predicted value of mean sweetness index, E(y), for run 1 is (5.649,5.838). What does this interval mean in terms of the problem?

Sales at a fast-food restaurant average $6,000 per day. the restaurant decided to introduce an advertising campaign to increase daily sales. to determine the effectiveness of the advertising campaign, a sample of 49 days of sales were taken. they found that the average daily sales were $6,300 per day. from past history, the restaurant knew that its population standard deviation is about $1,000. if the level of significance is 0.01, have sales increased as a result of the advertising campaign? multiple choicea)fail to reject the null hypothesis. b)reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is higher than $6,000 per day. c)reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than $6,000 per day. d)reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean is equal to $6,000 per day. expert answer
