Chapter 13.2, Problem 15E
No tortilla chip aficionado likes soggy chips, so it is important to find characteristics of the production process that produce chips with an appealing texture. The following data on x = frying time (sec) and y = moisture content (%) appeared in the article “Thermal and Physical Properties of Tortilla Chips as a
| x | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 45 | 60 |
| y | 16.3 | 9.7 | 8.1 | 4.2 | 3.4 | 2.9 | 1.9 | 1.3 |
a. Construct a
b. Construct a scatterplot of the (ln(x), ln(y)) pairs and comment.
c. What probabilistic relationship between x and y is suggested by the linear pattern in the plot of part (b)?
d. Predict the value of moisture content when frying time is 20, in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision.
e. Analyze the residuals from fitting the simple linear regression model to the transformed data and comment.

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as
determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on x = absorbance and
y = wrinkle resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper "Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with Infrared Spectroscopy".t
