2. The response of a colorimetric test for glucose was checked with the aid of standard
glucose solutions. Determine the correlation coefficient from the following data and
comment on the result
Glucose concentration, mM 0 2 4 6 8 10
Absorbance 0.002 0.150 0.294 0.434 0.570 0.704
3. The following results were obtained when each of a series of standard silver solutions was
analysed by flame atomic-absorption spectrometry.
Concentration, ng ml-1 0 5 10 15 20 25 30
Absorbance 0.003 0.127 0.251 0.390 0.498 0.625 0.763
Determine the slope and intercept of the calibration plot, and their confidence limits.
9. Sweetness of orange juice. The quality of the orange juice produced by a manufacturer
(e.g., Minute Maid, Tropicana) is constantly monitored. There are numerous sensory and
chemical components that combine to make the best tasting orange juice. For example,
one manufacturer has developed a quantitative index of the ‘‘sweetness’’ of orange juice.
(The higher the index, the sweeter the juice.) Is there a relationship between the sweetness
index and a chemical measure such as the amount of water-soluble pectin (parts per
million) in the orange juice? Data collected on these two variables for 24 production runs
at a juice manufacturing plant are shown in the table. Suppose a manufacturer wants to
use simple linear regression to predict the sweetness (y) from the amount of pectin (x).
a) Find the least squares line for the data.
b) Interpret ^β 0 and ^β 1 in the words of the problem.
c) Predict the sweetness index if amount of pectin in the orange juice is 300 ppm.
