Problem 7 (a) We can use polynomial regression approach to find the equations: Assume that:

For type T thermocouples: mV = f(T)

Coefficients Std.error -0.00607 0.001065 0.038677 1.02E-05 4.56E-05 5.36E-08 -3.7E-08 2.06E-10 1.8E-11 6.69E-13

Intercept X Variable a X Variable b X Variable c X Variable d

Regression statistics Multiple R 1 R Square 1 Adjusted R 1 Square Std error 0.004891 Observation 66

So the equation is :

For T = f(mv),

Intercept X Variable a X Variable b X Variable c X Variable d

Coefficients 4.657675 26.57919 -1.31375 0.095189 -0.00245

Std error 1.2151 0.293223 0.041779 0.006889 0.000256

Regression statistics Multiple R 0.999645 R Square 0.999289 Adjusted R Square 0.999243 Std error 5.282913 observation 66

So the equation is:
