The following data is a subset of data obtained in an experiment to study the relationship between x = soil pH and y = A1 Concentration/EC ("Root Responses of Three Gramineae Species to Soil Acidity in an Oxisol and an Ultisol," Soil Science, 1973: 295-302)
A cubic model was proposed in the article, but the version of Minitab used by the author of the present text
refused to include the x3 term in the model, stating that "x 3 is highly correlated with other predictor variables." To remedy this, 
= 4.3456 was subtracted from each x value to yield x' = x - . A cubic regression was then requested to fit the model having regression function
a. What is the estimated regression function for the "centered" model?
b. What is the estimated value of the coefficient ß3 in the "uncentered" model with regression function 
What is the estimate of ß2?
c. Using the cubic model, what value of y would you predict when soil pH is 4.5?
d. Carry out a test to decide whether the cubic term should be retained in the model.

In many polynomial regression problems
: e. SSE for the cubic model is .00006300, whereas for a quadratic model SSE is .00014367. Compute R2for each model. Does the difference between the two suggest that the cubic term can be deleted?

Ethene and propene produce an elastomer
: A copolymer of ethene and propene polymerised using Ziegler-Natta catalysts in the presence of a small proportion of conjugated diene, followed by vulcanisation yields an elastomer. How does the use of ethene and propene produce an elastomer?
