Question

3) The following graphs are all of the same experimental data. The portion of the data chosen for the linear regression analysis varies in Figs. 1-4. Examine the differing analyses of the same data in Figs. 1-4 Approx. region of quasi-linear portion of temperature decay selected for regression analysis almost all late earl mid Figure Intercept Slope 44.81 °C 44.92 °C 44.75 oC 443.75 oC+0.002483 °C/s -0.007984 °CIs 0.008323 °C/s -0.008042 °C/s 4 l.a. Which analysis would be the best one to use (Fig. 1,2,3, or 4)? b. Explain your choice. Discuss why #4 is so different from the others

Explanation / Answer

1. a. figure 1 is the best because almost all data are in the region of quasi-linear portion and the value of slope is least than other. so, this is justified the temperature decay process.

2. incase of # 4, the value of slope is positive. it means temperature is increasing with time and this fact is not possible for temperature decay process.
