QUESTION:

Extracting water from oil. Refer to the Journal of Colloidand Interface Science study of water/oil mixtures, Exercise12.20 (p. 684). Recall that three of the seven variables used to predict voltage (y) were volume (\(x_1\)), salinity (\(x_2\)), and surfactant concentration (\(x_5\)). The model the researchers fit is

\(E(y)=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} x_{1}+\beta_{2} x_{2}+\beta_{3} x_{5}+\beta_{4} x_{1} x_{2}+\beta_{5} x_{1} x_{5}\)

a. Note that the model includes interaction between disperse phase volume (\(x_1\)) and salinity (\(x_2\)) as well as interaction between disperse phase volume (\(x_1\)) and surfactant concentration (\(x_5\)). Discuss how these interaction terms affect the hypothetical relationship between y and \(x_1\). Draw a sketch to support your answer.

b. Fit the interaction model to the data. Does this model appear to fit the data better than the first-order modeling Exercise 12.20? Explain.

c. Interpret the \(\beta\) estimates of the interaction model.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 11

A first-order model for mean voltage (y)as a function of disperse phase volume (),

salinity () , temperature () , time delay () , surfactant concentration () , span: triton () and solid particles () is

 

Where  are all quantitative variables that are not functions of other

independent variables and (i =1,2,3,4,5,6,7) represent the slope of the line relating

y to  when all the other x values are held ?xed.

Given information is that three of the seven variables used to predict voltage ( y)were

volume() , salinity () , and surfactant concentration ().

The researcher model ?t is
