SCENARIO 15-3
A chemist employed by a pharmaceutical firm has developed a muscle relaxant. She took a sample of
14 people suffering from extreme muscle constriction. She gave each a vial containing a dose (X) of
the drug and recorded the time to relief (Y) measured in seconds for each. She fit a curvilinear model
to this data. The results obtained by Microsoft Excel follow
-Referring to Scenario 15-3, suppose the chemist decides to use an F test to
determine if there is a significant curvilinear relationship between time and dose. If she chooses
to use a level of significance of 0.01 she would decide that there is a significant curvilinear
relationship.

The statement lacks specific information about the F test results, such as the calculated F value and the critical F value at the 0.01 significance level, which are necessary to determine if the relationship is significant.
