Chapter 12.4, Problem 44E
Fitting the simple linear regression model to the n = 27 observations on x = modulus of elasticity and y = flexural strength given in Exercise 15 of Section 12.2 resulted in ŷ = 7.592, sŶ = .179 when x = 40 and ŷ = 9.741, sŶ = .253 for x = 60.
- a. Explain why sŶ is larger when x = 60 than when x = 40.
- b. Calculate a confidence interval with a confidence level of 95% for the true average strength of all beams whose modulus of elasticity is 40.
- c. Calculate a prediction interval with a prediction level of 95% for the strength of a single beam whose modulus of elasticity is 40.
- d. If a 95% CI is calculated for true average strength when modulus of elasticity is 60, what will be the simultaneous confidence level for both this interval and the interval calculated in part (b)?
