The following data resulted from an experiment to assess the potential of unburnt colliery spoil as a medium for plant growth. The variables are x 5 acid extractable cations and y 5 exchangeable acidity/total cation exchange capacity (“Exchangeable Acidity in Unburnt Colliery Spoil,” Nature, 1969: 161):
x | -5 | 16 | 26 | 30 | 38 | 52 | |
y | 1.50 | 1.46 | 1.32 | 1.17 | .96 | .78 | .77 |
x | 58 | 67 | 81 | 96 | 100 | 113 | |
y | .91 | .78 | .69 | .52 | .48 | .55 |
Standardizing the independent variable x to obtain
a. Estimate
b. Compute the value of the coefficient of multiple determination. (See Exercise 28(c).)
c. What is the estimated regression function
d. What is the estimated standard deviation of
e. Carry out a test using the standardized estimates to decide whether the quadratic term should be retained in the model. Repeat using the unstandardized estimates. Do your conclusions differ?

- 18.2 Well water having a total hardness of 300 mg / L as CaCO , is softened by split treatment . A zeolite bed takes 3/4 of the total flow and produces water at a hardness of 3 mg / L . as CaCO , One - fourth of flow is directly mixed with the softened water . The zeolite bed has 28.3 m² resin capacity . The water softening capacity of the resin is 62 kg / m³ total hardness as CaCO ,. Exhausted resin is regenerated by 98 percent pure NaCl solution . The salt consumption is three times the theoretical amount and used as 4 percent salt solution . Calculate ( a ) regeneration period if 950 m³ per day of water is passed through the softener , ( b ) the hardness of the fin ishod water , and ( c ) salt consumption per regeneration cyclearrow_forwardpan's high population density has resulted in a multitude of resource-usage problems. One especially serious difficulty concerns waste removal. An article reported the development of a new compression machine for processing sewage sludge. An important part of the investigation involved relating the moisture content of compressed pellets (y, in %) to the machine's filtration rate (x, in kg-DS/m/hr).
