Question
An experiment was performed on a certain metal to determine if the strength is a function of heating time. Partial results based on a sample of 10 metal sheets are given below. The simple linear regression equation is = 1 + 1X . The time is in minutes and the strength is measured in pounds per square inch, MSE = 0.5, = 30, = 104.
Determine the 95% prediction interval for the strength of a metal sheet when the average heating time is 4 minutes. The distance value has been found to be equal to 0.17143.
Explanation / Answer
mean
30/10 =3
then
var=sum(X-mean)2 = sum(X2 ) -n(mean)2
=104 -90=14
then standerd deviation =3.74
standerd deviation/square root(n) =3.74/square root(10) =3.74/3.16 =1.18
then interval is (3-1.18 ,3 +1.18) =(1.82 ,4.18)
