Acrylamide is a chemical that is sometimes found in cooked
starchy foods and which is thought to increase the risk of certain
kinds of cancer. The paper "A Statistical Regression Model for the
Estimation of Acrylamide Concentrations in French Fries for Excess
Lifetime Cancer Risk Assessment"† describes a study to investigate
the effect of frying time (in seconds) and acrylamide concentration
(in micrograms per kilogram) in french fries. The data in the
accompanying table are approximate values read from a graph that
appeared in the paper.
A.) Find the equation of the least squares regression line for
predicting acrylamide concentration using frying time. (Round your
answers to four decimal places.)
ŷ = ____+(____)x
b.) Use the regression line to predict acrylamide concentration
(in micrograms per kilogram) for a frying time of 225 seconds?
(Round your answer to three decimal places.)
_____micrograms per kilogram
C.)Would you use the least squares regression equation to
predict acrylamide concentration for a frying time of 500 seconds?
If so, what is the concentration?
