Textbook Question
Chapter 8.1, Problem 1E
In an experiment to determine the factors affecting tensile strength in steel plates, the tensile strength (in kg/mm2), the manganese content (in parts per thousand), and the thickness (in mm) were measured for a sample of 20 plates. The following MINITAB output presents the results of fitting the model Tensile strength = β0 + β1 Manganese + β2 Thickness.
- a. Predict the strength for a specimen that is 10 mm thick and contains 8.2 ppt manganese.
- b. If two specimens have the same thickness, and one contains 10 ppt more manganese, by how much would you predict their strengths to differ?
- c. If two specimens have the same proportion of manganese, and one is 5 mm thicker than the other, by how much would you predict their strengths to differ?

The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table.

In Exercises 5-8, refer to the axial loads (pounds) of aluminum Pepsi cans that are 0.0109 in. thick, as listed in Data Set 30 “Aluminum Cans” in Appendix B. An axial load of a can is the maximum weight supported by the side, and it is important to have an axial load high enough so that the can isn’t crushed when the top lid is pressed onto the top. There are seven measurements from each of 25 days of production. If the 175 axial loads are in one column, the first 7 are from the first day, the next 7 are from the second day, and so on, so that the “subgroup size” is 7.
