question 37

Short Answer

Instruction 16-2
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 quadratic model to this data. The results obtained by Microsoft Excel follow.

Note: Adj. R Square = Adjusted R Square; Std. Error = Standard Error
-Referring to Instruction 16-2,the prediction of time to relief for a person receiving a dose of the drug 10 units above the average dose is _______.
