1. The mayor of a certain city wishes to decommission a set of cars that emit a certain
amount of Nitric oxide (NO) as one of the elements that pollutes the
environment. The technicians and advisors want to know if the amount of carbon monoxide
Nitrogen (NO in mg/m3) emitted by cars is related to the age of the cars.
For the study, they selected a sample of 10 cars and asked them to use a
new reformulated gasoline that has just entered the market and later they made the
respective measurement.

The following are the data obtained from the mentioned study:
x = 80.49 y = 68 x2=988.18 y2=688 xy = 810.69
a. Determine the linear regression model
b. With the obtained data, find the correlation coefficient and interpret it.
A company dedicated to the production of steel tools wishes to present to the market
a new type of drill bit tip. Before that, you want to know if the deformation (in mm) that
Normal temperature affects the hardness of steel (in kg/mm2). To investigate.
This relationship has taken the following sample of data.

The following is the information obtained:
x = 183 y = 440 x24,665 y2=23,232 xy = 7,701
a. Determine the linear regression model
b. With the obtained data, find the correlation coefficient and interpret it.
An industrial engineer is calibrating a spectrometer to measure the concentration of CO.
in air samples. This calibration implies that you must check that there are no differences
significant between the true CO concentration (X) and the concentration measured by the
spectrometer (Y). To do this, it takes 11 air samples in which it knows their true
concentration of CO and compares it with the concentration measured by the spectrometer. The
the data are as follows (the units are ppm):

Below are the data obtained by the Industrial Engineer:
x = 544 y = 550 x237410 y2=38500 xy = 37940
a. Determine the linear regression model
b. With the obtained data, find the correlation coefficient and interpret it.
4. The monthly phone bill of a small business has increased.
notably in recent months. The studies conducted by the company's manager
they argue that the greater use of the Internet within it is the main cause of the greater
phone expense, which has led to the study of the possibility of applying for one of the
multiple bonuses or special rates that companies offer, which until now still
has not been carried out. The collected data are:
Expense ($) 55 100 118 120 142 70 125 98 125 65
Internet Minutes 200 500 700 800 1000 220 795 440 950 170
The following are the data obtained from the requested study:
x = 5775 y = 1018 4,225,425 y2 =111,492 669,295
a. Determine the linear regression model
b. With the obtained data, find the correlation coefficient and interpret it.
