It was hypothesized that the value y of the initial rate of formation of a chemical impurity
causing discoloration was linearly dependent on (1) the concentration x1 of monomer and (2) the
concentration x2 of dimmer, namely0 1 1 2 2

(a) Use the least squares method to estimate θ0, θ1 and θ2.
(b) Perform analysis of variance to check if the regression is significant using α = 0.05.
(c) Find 95% confidence intervals on θ0, θ1 and θ2.
