 Consider a manufacturing process for making pistons from metal ingots inwhich each ingot produces enough material for 1000pistons. Sometimes, a piston cracks

Consider a manufacturing process for making pistons from metal ingots in which each ingot produces enough material for 1000pistons. Sometimes, a piston cracks whilst cooling after being forged. Previous research has shown that, in a batch of 1000pistons, the average number of pistons that develop a crack during cooling is dependent on the purity of the ingots. Ingots of known purity X were forged into pistons, and the average number Y of cracked pistons per batch was recorded in the table below. Each batch is made up of a random sample of pistons of the same purity. Ingots purity I; 0.960.940.950.980.980.97 Average number y; Of cracked pistons 3.795.074.432.892.063.16 Below is the data from the table reproduced in a format which you can copy-paste easily. 0. 96 0. 94 0. 95 0. 98 0. 99 0.97 3. 79 5. 07 4. 43 2. 89 2. 06 3. 16 One has I = 0.965 and ( 1)2 = 0.00175. The following linear regression model is fit to these data: Y = Bo + BIX+E. Use the following Matlab regression output to answer the questions below.
