Instruction 16-2
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 quadratic model to this data. The results obtained by Microsoft Excel follow.

-Referring to Instruction 16-2,suppose the chemist decides to use an F test to determine if there is a significant quadratic relationship between time and dose.If she chooses to use a level of significance of 0.05,she would decide that there is a significant curvilinear relationship.
