A chemical engineer is studying the effect of temperature

Chapter 7, Problem 7E

(choose chapter or problem)

A chemical engineer is studying the effect of temperature and stirring rate on the yield of a certain product. The process is run 16 times, at the settings indicated in the following table. The units for yield are percent of a theoretical maximum.

a. Compute the correlation between temperature and yield, between stirring rate and yield, and between temperature and stirring rate.

b. Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the temperature causes the yield to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding? Explain.

c. Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the stirring rate causes the yield to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding? Explain.
