The correct choice for each question is the closest number to the correct answer.
1. DiamEnd is a small company processing diamond stones using proprietary equipment to increase the clarity
of the stones. The clarity of each stone is measured before and after processing to determine the % increase
in clarity. The following is a scatter plot of the data and calculated values from the sample data:

Answer: (a)
2. An experiment is run to determine the relationship between temperature (X in units of degrees Celsius) and
dissolved oxygen (Y in units of mg/L) in a new industrial process. The regression coefficients of linear
regression model of the sample data were estimated to be bo = 14.393 and b1 = -0.2214. Predict the
dissolved oxygen content in a system at 22oC (assume that the model is appropriate to use for this value of
X).
(a) 1.2

(b) 2.5

(c) 8.8

(d) 9.5

(e) 15
