Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important character

Question

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on xabsorbance and y = wrinkle resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper "Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with Infrared Spectroscopy". t x 0.115 0.126 0.183 0.246 0.282 0.344 0.355 0.452 0.491 0.554 0.651 y 334 342 355 363 365 372 381 392 400 412420 Here is regression output from Minitab Predictor Constant absorb Coef 321.878 156.711 SE Coef 2.483 6.464 0.000 0.000 129.64 24.24 S3.60498 R-Sq 98.5% R-Sq (adj ) -98·39 = DE 1 SOURCE Regression Residual Error Total MS 7639.0 587.81 0.000 7639.0 13.0 10 7756.0 (a) Does the simple linear regression model appear to be appropriate?

Explanation / Answer

Regression eq is

y=321.878+156.711(x)

wrinkle resistance angle=321.878+156.711(absorbance)

For absorbance=0.255

wrinkle resistance angle=321.878+156.711(0.255)

wrinkle resistance angle= 361.8393

=361.84

ANSWER(B) 361.84
