Exercise 2
The article "Optimization of Medium Composition for Lipase Production by Candida rugosa NCIM 3462 Using Response Surface Methodology" describes a series of experiments in which lipase was produced from a bacterial culture. In each experiment, the rate of lipase production (in mol per ml enzyme per minute) and the cell mass (in g/L) were measured. The results are presented in the following table:
Cell mass (x) Lipase (y) Cell mass (x) Lipase (y) Cell mass (x) Lipase (y) Cell mass (x) Lipase (y)

Using SAS, create a scatter plot, find the least squares line (prediction line), Pearson's correlation coefficient (explain), complete a test of linearity based on your SAS output, and find/explain the coefficient of determination. Note: Print out of SAS code and output is needed.
