1. (Regression) Sixteen observations on the viscosity of a polymer (y) and
two process variables reaction temperature (x1) and catalyst feed rate
(x2) are shown in the Table below. We will fit a multiple linear regression
model:
y = A + Bx1 + Cx2
Determine A, B, and C and perform a regression analysis.
