The exponent "product rule" tells us that, when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents. In this example, you can see how it works. Adding the exponents is just a short cut! The "power rule" tells us that to raise a power to a power, just multiply the exponents.

In a study relating the degree of warping, in mm, of a copper plate (y) to temperature in °C (x), the following summary statisti

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082x

0.6315 mm

x = 23.9634 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Compute the least-squares line for predicting warping from temperature. Round the answers to four decimal places.

We need to find an equation of the form

y = b + mx

where m is the slope and b the Y-intercept.

The slope m can be computed with the formula

$\bf m=\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y)}{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2}$

Replacing the values in our formula (we will round at the end of the calculations)

$\bf m=\displaystyle\frac{806.94}{98,775}=0.008169476$

the Y-intercept b is computed with the formula

$\bf b=\bar y-m\bar x$

therefore we have

$\bf b=0.5188-0.008169476*26.36=0.303452613$

and the least-squares line rounded to 4 decimals would be

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082x

b. Predict the warping at a temperature of 40°C. Round the answer to three decimal places.

We simply replace x with 40 to get

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082*40 = 0.6315 mm

c. At what temperature will we predict the warping to be 0.5 mm? Round the answer to two decimal places

Here, we replace y with 0.5 and solve for x

0.5 = 0.3035 + 0.0082x ===> x = (0.5-0.3035)/0.0082 ===>

x = 23.9634 °C
