The time to failure of a machine component is related to the operating voltage (x 1 ),

The time to failure of a machine component is related to the operating voltage (x 1 ),

(x1), the motor speed in revolutions per minute (x2), and the operating temperature (x3).

A designed experiment is run in the research and development laboratory, and the following data, where y is the time to failure in minutes, are obtained.

(a) Fit a multiple regression model to these data.

(b) Estimate the error variance.

(c) Determine a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean time to failure

when the operating voltage is 125, the motor speed is 900, and the operating temperature is 160.
