Ask Custom Question

Cellulon, a manufacturer of a home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers regarding the effects (1) of the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and (2) of the outdoor temperature on natural gas consumption. In the laboratory they varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are:

Please see the attached document for the table.

On the basis of the sample results, the regression equation is:
Y_ _ 62.65 _ 1.86X1 _ 0.52X2

a. How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F?

b. What effect would installing 7 inches of insulation instead of 6 have on the monthly natural gas consumption (assuming the outdoor temperature remains at 40 degrees F)?

c. Why are the regression coefficients b1 and b2 negative? Is this logical?

Solution Summary

This solution outlines the expected natural gas consumption for homeowners when various thicknesses of insulation are installed.

Solution Preview

(a) The given the regression equation
Y = 62.65 - 1.86 X1 - 0.52 X2

The expected natural gas consumption for home owners per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F, is given by
Y = 62.65 - 1.86 ...
