Question 1: Regression

A civil engineer is studying how water-cement ratio affects the compressive strength
(MPa) of concrete. Data are collected from several laboratory-prepared samples.

Ratio Strength
0.40 38.0
0.45 34.4
0.50 33.7
0.55 28.2
0.60 27.0
0.65 25.2
0.70 21.6
0.75 21.4
0.80 18.3
0.85 18.3

Tasks

(i) Fit a simple linear regression model and estimate the coefficients.
(ii) Write the fitted equation: 𝑦 ̂ = 𝛽0̂ + 𝛽1̂ 𝑥
(iii) Interpret the slope coefficient.
(iv) Compute 𝑅2 and interpret.
(v) Predict strength when ratio = 0.57.

Question 2: System Reliability

A communication system uses 7 identical components connected in parallel. Each component


functions correctly with probability 0.9, independently. The system operates if at least 5
components function. Compute the probability that the system functions. Briefly interpret
the result in context.

Question 3: Detection System Design

Each sensor detects a specific event with probability 0.14, independently of the others. De-
termine the minimum number of sensors required so that the probability of at least one
detection is at least 0.9. Show your steps clearly.
