Carp diet study. Fisheries Science (February 1995) reported on a study of the variables that affect endogenous nitrogen excretion (ENE) in carp raised in Japan. Carp were divided into groups of 2 – 15 fish, each according to body weight and each group placed in a sep- arate tank. The carp were then fed a protein- free diet three times daily for a period of 20 days. One day after terminating the feeding

MINITAB output for Exercise 4.37

A Quadratic (Second-Order) Model with a Quantitative Predictor 207
experiment, the amount of ENE in each tank was measured. The table (p. 206) gives the mean body weight (in grams) and ENE amount (in mil- ligrams per 100 grams of body weight per day) for each carp group.
(a) Graph the data in a scatterplot. Do you detect a pattern?
(b) The quadratic model E(y) = β0 + β1x + β2x2 was fit to the data using MINITAB. The MINITAB printout is displayed on
p. 206. Conduct the test H0: β2 = 0 against Ha : β2 I= 0 using α = .10. Give the conclusion in the words of the problem.
