In a study of a concrete curing improvement process for prestressed beams, the following data were collected to determine the effect of curing time and temperature on the compression strength of the concrete. The equation is . Here are the data. From these data, do the following:

• Plot the data as you see fit • Determine the regression coefficients using Data/Data Analysis/Regression in Excel

(see note on using Excel for regression analysis) • The standard deviation of those coefficients • Comment on your solution • If the cost of increasing the temperature by 10oC is $10/yard3, what is the 1) increase

in strength relative to standard conditions and its standard deviation, and the cost and its standard deviation for 100 yard3 for using warmed concrete with a 3 day curing time.

Time.hours Temperature.C
