Civil engineers often use the straight-line equation, = β0 + β1x, to model the relationship between the mean shear strength of masonry joints and precompression stress, x. To test this theory, a series of stress tests were performed on solid bricks arranged in triplets and joined with mortar. The precompression stress was varied for each triplet and the ultimate shear load just before failure (called the shear strength) was recorded. The stress results for n = 7 triplet tests is shown in the accompanying table followed by a SAS printout of the regression analysis.

Model 1 2.39555 2.39555 47.732 0.0010
Error 5 0.25094 0.05019
C Total 6 2.64649

Dep Mean 2.32857 Adj R-sq 0.8862

Parameter Estimates

Parameter Standard      T for HO:
Variable DF Estimate Error Parameter=0 Prob > |T|

INTERCEP 1 1.191930 0.18503093 6.442 0.0013
X 1 0.987157 0.14288331 6.909 0.0010

Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line.
◦ For every 1 ton increase in precompression stress, we estimate the shear strength of the joint to increase by 0.987 ton.
◦ For a triplet test with a precompression stress of 1 ton, we estimate the shear strength of the joint to be 0.987 ton.
◦ For a triplet test with a precompression stress of 0 tons, we estimate the shear strength of the joint to be 1.19 tons.
◦ For every 0.987 ton increase in precompression stress, we estimate the shear strength of the joint to increase by 1 ton.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
