Suppose that in a certain chemical process the reaction time y (hr) is related to the temperature (°F) in the chamber in which the reaction takes place according to the simple linear regression model with equation y = 5.20 − 0.01x and σ = 0.065.
(a) What is the expected change in reaction time for a 1°F increase in temperature? For an 8°F increase in temperature?
1°F increase | hr | |
8°F increase | hr |
(b) What is the expected reaction time when temperature is 210°F?
When temperature is 260°F?
210°F | hr | |
260°F | hr |
(c) Suppose five observations are made independently on reaction
time, each one for a temperature of 260°F. What is the probability
that all five times are between 2.45 and 2.75 hours? (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)
(d) What is the probability that two independently observed
reaction times for temperatures 1° apart are such that the time at
the higher temperature exceeds the time at the lower temperature?
(Round your answer to four decimal places.)
a)expected change in reaction time for a 1°F increase in temperature =-0.01
expected change in reaction time for a 8°F increase in temperature =-0.08
b)
expected reaction time when temperature is 210°F =5.20-0.01*210=3.1
expected reaction time when temperature is 260°F =5.20-0.01*210=2.6
c)for 1 time
P(2.45<X<2.75)=P(-0.15/0.065<Z<0.15/0.065)=P(-2.31<Z<2.31)=0.9792
hence for 5 times; probability that all five times are between 2.45 and 2.75 hours =0.97925 =0.9002
d)
P(X>0)=P(Z>(0.01/(0.065*sqrt(2))=P(Z>0.11)=0.4562
