It is known that the tensile strength of a plastic in­creases as a function of the time it is heat treated. The fol­lowing data is collected:

Time

10

15

20

25

40

50

55

60

75

Tensile Strength

5

20

18

78

(a) Fit a straight line to this data and use the equation to determine the tensile strength at a time of 32 min.


(b) Repeat the analysis but for a straight line with a zero intercept.
