Textbook Question
Chapter B.2, Problem 49E
Silica Gel. Refer to Exercise B.46, where the problem is to determine a quadratic regression equation relating silica gel density to pH and setting time. Use the technology of your choice to obtain computer output similar to Outputs B.39–B.42 on pages B-59–B-61.
- a. Based on the
correlation coefficients between density and the first-and second-order terms in the centered predictor variable pHc and settimec, which terms are most highly correlated with density? What are the correlation coefficients between the first-and second-order terms? Will thesecorrelations adversely affect the ability to assess the effect of a term in the presence of the other terms? Explain your answer. - b. Consult the computer output that gives the results of the second-order polynomial regression analysis of density on the centered predictor variables pHc and settimec. Based on the t-tests for the individual utility of each term in the model, which terms would you retain in the regression equation? Is it appropriate to use the t-tests here?
- c. Use the plots of residuals versus fitted values, residuals versus pHc, and residuals versus settimec, and also the normal probability plot of the residuals, to assess the appropriateness of the regression equation, constancy of the conditional standard deviations, and normality of the conditional distributions. Check for outliers and influential observations.
- d. Does your analysis in part (c) reveal any violations of the assumptions for regression inferences? Explain.

This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data?
