Chapter 14 Exercise 2
Thompson Photo Works purchased several new, highly sophisticated processing
machines. The production department needed some guidance with respect to
qualifications needed by an operator. Is age a factor? Is the length of service as an
operator (in years) important? In order to explore further the factors needed to
estimate performance on the new processing machines, four variables were listed:
24

X1 = Length of time an employee was in the industry


X2 = Mechanical aptitude test score
X3 = Prior on-the-job rating
X4 = Age
Performance on the new machine is designated y.
Thirty employees were selected at random. Data were collected for each, and their
performances on the new machines were recorded. A few results are:

coefficient is negative? (Round your answer to nearest whole number.)

Chapter 13 Exercise 12
The Student Government Association at Middle Carolina University wanted to
demonstrate the relationship between the number of beers a student drinks and his
or her blood alcohol content (BAC). A random sample of 18 students participated
in a study in which each participating student was randomly assigned a number of
12-ounce cans of beer to drink. Thirty minutes after they consumed their assigned
number of beers, a member of the local sheriffs office measured their blood
alcohol content. The sample information is reported below.

Chapter 14 Exercise 2
Thompson Photo Works purchased several new, highly sophisticated processing
machines. The production department needed some guidance with respect to
qualifications needed by an operator. Is age a factor? Is the length of service as an
operator (in years) important? In order to explore further the factors needed to
estimate performance on the new processing machines, four variables were listed:
X1 = Length of time an employee was in the industry
X2 = Mechanical aptitude test score
X3 = Prior on-the-job rating
X4 = Age
Performance on the new machine is designated y.
Thirty employees were selected at random. Data were collected for each, and their
performances on the new machines were recorded. A few results are:

a. What is this equation called?


b. How many dependent and independent variables are there?
c. What is the number 0.286 called?
d. As age increases by one year, how much does estimated performance on the new
machine increase? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

e. Carl Knox applied for a job at Photo Works. He has been in the business for 6
years and scored 280 on the mechanical aptitude test. Carls prior on-the-job
performance rating is 97, and he is 35 years old. Estimate Carls performance on
the new machine. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
