CHAPTER 13 EXERCISE 12
The Student Government Association at Middle Carolina University wanted to demonstrate the relationship between the number of beers a student drinks and his or her blood alcohol content (BAC). A random sample of 18 students participated in a study in which each participating student was randomly assigned a number of 12-ounce cans of beer to drink. Thirty minutes after they consumed their assigned number of beers, a member of the local sheriff's office measured their blood alcohol content. The sample information is reported below.

CHAPTER 14 EXERCISE2
Thompson Photo Works purchased several new, highly sophisticated processing machines. The production department needed some guidance with respect to qualifications needed by an operator. Is age a factor? Is the length of service as an operator (in years) important? In order to explore further the factors needed to estimate performance on the new processing machines, four variables were listed:

X1 = Length of time an employee was in the industry
X2 = Mechanical aptitude test score
X3 = Prior on-the-job rating
X4 = Age

Performance on the new machine is designated y.

Thirty employees were selected at random. Data were collected for each, and their performances on the new machines were recorded. A few results are:
