| The Student Government Association at Middle Carolina University wanted to demonstrate the relationship between the number of beers a student drinks and his or her blood alcohol content (BAC). A random sample of 18 students participated in a study in which each participating student was randomly assigned a number of 12-ounce cans of beer to drink. Thirty minutes after they consumed their assigned number of beers, a member of the local sheriff's office measured their blood alcohol content. The sample information is reported below. |

| Thompson Photo Works purchased several new, highly sophisticated processing machines. The production department needed some guidance with respect to qualifications needed by an operator. Is age a factor? Is the length of service as an operator (in years) important? In order to explore further the factors needed to estimate performance on the new processing machines, four variables were listed: |
| X1 = Length of time an employee was in the industry |
| X2 = Mechanical aptitude test score |
| X3 = Prior on-the-job rating |
| X4 = Age |
| Performance on the new machine is designated y. |
| Thirty employees were selected at random. Data were collected for each, and their performances on the new machines were recorded. A few results are: |
