Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 72SE
The SAS output at the bottom of this page is based on data from the article “Evidence for and the Rate of Denitrification in the Arabian Sea” (Deep Sea Research, 1978: 431–435). The variables under study are x = salinity level (%) and y = nitrate level (μM/L).
- a. What is the
sample size n? [Hint: Look for degrees of freedom for SSE.] - b. Calculate a point estimate of expected nitrate level when salinity level is 35.5.
- c. Does there appear to be a useful linear relationship between the two variables?
- d. What is the value of the sample
correlation coefficient ? - e. Would you use the simple linear regression model to draw conclusions when the salinity level is 40?

An article in the Journal of Environmental Engineering (1989, Vol. 115(3), pp.
608–619) reported the results of a study on the occurrence of sodium and chloride in surface
streams in central Rhode Island. The following data are chloride concentration y (in milligrams per
liter) and roadway area in the watershed x (in percentage).
Fifty male subjects drank a measured amount x (in ounces) of a medication and the concentration y
(in percent) in their blood of the active ingredient was measured 30 minutes later. The sample data
are summarized by the following information:

There were three levels of each concentration, and two replicates of the experiment were made at each combination of levels. The relevant statistical analysis is provided in the following table: (image) a) Does there appear to be an interaction between concentration of sulfuric acid and calcium chloride at the .05 level? What does this say about the additive model? b) Can the effect of concentration of sulfuric acid on amount of black mud precipitate in the treatment of alkaline wastewater be described by interpreting the main effects of concentration of sulfuric acid? If so, interpret the main effects at the .05 level, including the appropriate test statistic and p-value.
