question 67

Short Answer

TABLE 15-7
A chemist employed by a pharmaceutical firm has developed a muscle relaxant. She took a sample of 14 people suffering from extreme muscle constriction. She gave each a vial containing a dose (X) of the drug and recorded the time to relief (Y) measured in seconds for each. She fit a "centered" curvilinear model to this data. The results obtained by Microsoft Excel follow, where the dose (X) given has been "centered."
