A study was done to study the effect of ambient temperature x on the electric power consumed by a chemical plant y. Other factors were held constant, and the data were collected from an experimental pilot plant
y(BTU). x(°F). y(BTU). x(°F)
250. 27. 265. 31
285. 45. 298. 60
320. 72. 267. 34
295. 58. 321. 74
Find the Pearson r Correlation Coefficient: r = Blank 1
Find the equation of the regression line: y = Blank 2x + Blank 3
Predict power consumption for an ambient temperature of 65 °F: Blank 4BTU
Test the significance of the correlation coefficient calculated in the question above at α = 0.05. Use the steps in conducting hypothesis tests
