2-1 The breaking strength of a fiber is required to be at least 150 psi. Past experience has indicated that
the standard deviation of breaking strength is V = 3 psi. A random sample of four specimens is tested. The
results are y1=145, y2=153, y3=150 and y4=147.
(a) State the hypotheses that you think should be tested in this experiment.
H0: P = 150

H1: P > 150

(b) Test these hypotheses using D = 0.05. What are your conclusions?

2-6 Consider the shelf life data in Problem 2-5. Can shelf life be described or modeled adequately by a
normal distribution? What effect would violation of this assumption have on the test procedure you used in
solving Problem 2-5?
A normal probability plot, obtained from Minitab, is shown. There is no reason to doubt the adequacy of
the normality assumption. If shelf life is not normally distributed, then the impact of this on the t-test in
problem 2-5 is not too serious unless the departure from normality is severe.

processes can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation of V1 = 0.015 and V2 = 0.018. The quality
engineering department suspects that both machines fill to the same net volume, whether or not this volume
is 16.0 ounces. An experiment is performed by taking a random sample from the output of each machine.

2-10 Two types of plastic are suitable for use by an electronic calculator manufacturer. The breaking
strength of this plastic is important. It is known that V1 = V2 = 1.0 psi. From random samples of n1 = 10
and n2 = 12 we obtain y 1 = 162.5 and y 2 = 155.0. The company will not adopt plastic 1 unless its
breaking strength exceeds that of plastic 2 by at least 10 psi. Based on the sample information, should they
use plastic 1? In answering this questions, set up and test appropriate hypotheses using D = 0.01.

(c) Discuss the role of the normality assumption in this problem. Check the assumption of normality for
both types of flares.
The assumption of normality is required in the theoretical development of the t-test. However, moderate
departure from normality has little impact on the performance of the t-test. The normality assumption is
more important for the test on the equality of the two variances. An indication of nonnormality would be
of concern here. The normal probability plots shown below indicate that burning time for both
formulations follow the normal distribution.

(c) Discuss the normality assumption and its role in this problem.
The normality assumption is much more important when analyzing variances then when analyzing means.
A moderate departure from normality could cause problems with both statistical tests and confidence
intervals. Specifically, it will cause the reported significance levels to be incorrect.
(d) Check normality by constructing a normal probability plot. What are your conclusions?
The normal probability plot indicates that there is not any serious problem with the normality assumption.

(f) Discuss the role of the normality assumption in the paired t-test.
As in any t-test, the assumption of normality is of only moderate importance. In the paired t-test, the
assumption of normality applies to the distribution of the differences. That is, the individual sample
measurements do not have to be normally distributed, only their difference.

These two sets of data were created by making the observation for A and B moderately different within
each pair (or block), but making the observations between pairs very different. The fact that the difference
between pairs is large makes the pooled estimate of the standard deviation large and the two-sample t-test
statistic small. Therefore the fairly small difference between the means of the two treatments that is present
when they are applied to the same experimental unit cannot be detected. Generally, if the blocks are very
different, then this will occur. Blocking eliminates the variabiliy associated with the nuisance variable that
they represent.

No, the conclusions are not the same. The mean of Treatment 4 is different than the means of Treatments
1, 2, and 3. However, the mean of Treatment 2 is not different from the means of Treatments 1 and 3
according to the Tukey method, they were found to be different using the graphical method and Duncan’s
multiple range test.
(c) Explain the difference between the Tukey and Duncan procedures.
A single critical value is used for comparison with the Tukey procedure where a – 1 critical values are
used with the Duncan procedure. Tukey’s test has a type I error rate of D for all pairwise comparisons
where Duncan’s test type I error rate varies based on the steps between the means. Tukey’s test is more
conservative and has less power than Duncan’s test.

Treatment 1, temperature of 100, is different than Treatment 2, temperature of 125. All other pairwise
comparisons do not identify differences. Notice something very interesting has happened here. The
analysis of variance indicated that there were no differences between treatment means, yet the LSD
procedure found a difference; in fact, the Design-Expert output indicates that the P-value if slightly less
that 0.05. This illustrates a danger of using multiple comparison procedures without relying on the results
from the analysis of variance. Because we could not reject the hypothesis of equal means using the
analysis of variance, we should never have performed the Fisher LSD (or any other multiple comparison
procedure, for that matter). If you ignore the analysis of variance results and run multiple comparisons,
you will likely make type I errors.
The LSD calculations utilized Equation 3-32, which accommodates different sample sizes. Equation 3-32
simplifies to Equation 3-33 for a balanced design experiment.

Since coatings 3 and 4 do not differ, and as they both produce the lowest mean values of conductivity, use
either coating 3 or 4. As type 4 is currently being used, there is probably no need to change.

1 and 2 are different. 2 and 3 are different.
Notice that the results indicate that the mean of treatment 2 differs from the means of both treatments 1
and 3, and that the means for treatments 1 and 3 are the same. Notice also that the Fisher LSD procedure
(see the computer output) gives the same results.
(c) Use the graphical procedure in Section 3-5.3 to compare the treatment means. What conclusions can
you draw? How do they compare with the conclusions from part (a).
The scaled-t plot agrees with part (b). In this case, the large difference between the mean of treatment 2
and the other two treatments is very obvious.

Either type 1 or type 3 as they are not different from each other and have the lowest response time.
(f) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. Are the basic analysis of variance assumptions satisfied?
The normal probability plot has some points that do not lie along the line in the upper region. This may

(c) Which circuit design would you select for use? Low noise is best.
From the Design Expert Output, the Fisher LSD procedure comparing the difference in means identifies
Type 1 as having lower noise than Types 2 and 4. Although the LSD procedure comparing Types 1 and 3
has a P-value greater than 0.05, it is less than 0.10. Unless there are other reasons for choosing Type 3,
Type 1 would be selected.

The plot of residuals versus predicted has a strong outward-opening funnel shape, which indicates the
variance of the original observations is not constant. The residuals plotted in the normal probability plot
also imply that the normality assumption is not valid. A data transformation is recommended.

(b) Plot the residuals versus the predicted response. Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals.
Are there potential concerns about the validity of the assumptions?
The plot of residuals versus predicted appears to be funnel shaped. This indicates the variance of the
original observations is not constant. The residuals plotted in the normal probability plot do not fall along
a straight line, which suggests that the normality assumption is not valid. A data transformation is
recommended.

For count data, a square root transformation is often very effective in resolving problems with inequality
of variance. The analysis of variance for the transformed response is shown below. The difference

Notice that we have used an estimate of the variance obtained from the present experiment. This indicates
that we probably didn’t use a large enough sample (n was 5 in problem 3-10) to satisfy the criteria
specified in this problem. However, the sample size was adequate to detect differences in one of the
circuit types.
When we have no prior estimate of variability, sometimes we will generate sample sizes for a range of
possible variances to see what effect this has on the size of the experiment. Often a knowledgeable expert
will be able to bound the variability in the response, by statements such as “the standard deviation is going
to be at least…” or “the standard deviation shouldn’t be larger than…”.

3-30 Four different feed rates were investigated in an experiment on a CNC machine producing a
component part used in an aircraft auxiliary power unit. The manufacturing engineer in charge of the
experiment knows that a critical part dimension of interest may be affected by the feed rate. However,
prior experience has indicated that only dispersion effects are likely to be present. That is, changing the
feed rate does not affect the average dimension, but it could affect dimensional variability. The engineer
makes five production runs at each feed rate and obtains the standard deviation of the critical dimension
(in 10-3 mm). The data are shown below. Assume that all runs were made in random order.

Because the residual plots were not acceptable for the non-transformed data, a square root transformation
was applied to the standard deviations of the critical dimension. Based on the computer output below, the
feed rate has an effect on the standard deviation of the critical dimension.

4-1 A chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of
cloth. Because there might be variability from one bolt to another, the chemist decides to use a randomized
block design, with the bolts of cloth considered as blocks. She selects five bolts and applies all four
chemicals in random order to each bolt. The resulting tensile strengths follow. Analyze the data from this
experiment (use D = 0.05) and draw appropriate conclusions.

Algorithm

The normal probability plot shows slight deviations from normality; however, still acceptable.
(d) Which ratio control algorithm would you select if your objective is to reduce both the average cell
voltage and the pot noise?
Since the ratio control algorithm has little effect on average cell voltage, select the algorithm that
minimizes pot noise, that is algorithm #2.
4-7 An aluminum master alloy manufacturer produces grain refiners in ingot form. This company
produces the product in four furnaces. Each furnace is known to have its own unique operating
characteristics, so any experiment run in the foundry that involves more than one furnace will consider
furnace a nuisance variable. The process engineers suspect that stirring rate impacts the grain size of the
product. Each furnace can be run at four different stirring rates. A randomized block design is run for a
particular refiner and the resulting grain size data is shown below.

Stirring Rate

The variance is consistent at different stirring rates. Not only does this validate the assumption of uniform
variance, it also identifies that the different stirring rates do not affect variance.
(d) What should the process engineers recommend concerning the choice of stirring rate and furnace for
this particular grain refiner if small grain size is desirable?
There really isn’t any effect due to the stirring rate.

4-13 An industrial engineer is conducting an experiment on eye focus time. He is interested in the effect
of the distance of the object from the eye on the focus time. Four different distances are of interest. He has
five subjects available for the experiment. Because there may be differences among individuals, he decides
to conduct the experiment in a randomized block design. The data obtained follow. Analyze the data from
this experiment (use D = 0.05) and draw appropriate conclusions.

4-14 The effect of five different ingredients (A, B, C, D, E) on reaction time of a chemical process is
being studied. Each batch of new material is only large enough to permit five runs to be made.
Furthermore, each runs requires approximately 1 1/2 hours, so only five runs can be made in one day. The
experimenter decides to run the experiment as a Latin square so that day and batch effects can be
systematically controlled. She obtains the data that follow. Analyze the data from this experiment (use D =
0.05) and draw conclusions.

4-15 An industrial engineer is investigating the effect of four assembly methods (A, B, C, D) on the
assembly time for a color television component. Four operators are selected for the study. Furthermore,
the engineer knows that each assembly method produces such fatigue that the time required for the last
assembly may be greater than the time required for the first, regardless of the method. That is, a trend
develops in the required assembly time. To account for this source of variability, the engineer uses the
Latin square design shown below. Analyze the data from this experiment (D = 0.05) draw appropriate
conclusions.

4-19 Designs involving several Latin squares. [See Cochran and Cox (1957), John (1971).] The p x p
Latin square contains only p observations for each treatment. To obtain more replications the experimenter
may use several squares, say n. It is immaterial whether the squares used are the same are different. The
appropriate model is

discarded. Develop an appropriate analysis for the remaining data.
Two methods of analysis exist: (1) Use the general regression significance test, or (2) recognize that the
design is a Youden square. The data can be analyzed as a balanced incomplete block design with a=b=5,
r=k=4 and O=3. Using either approach will yield the same analysis of variance.

In the road test he wishes to use cars as blocks; however, because of a time constraint, he must use an
incomplete block design. He runs the balanced design with the five blocks that follow. Analyze the data

4-38 Extended incomplete block designs. Occasionally the block size obeys the relationship a < k < 2a.
An extended incomplete block design consists of a single replicate or each treatment in each block along
with an incomplete block design with k* = k-a. In the balanced case, the incomplete block design will have
parameters k* = k-a, r* = r-b, and O*. Write out the statistical analysis. (Hint: In the extended incomplete
block design, we have O = 2r-b+O*.)
As an example of an extended incomplete block design, suppose we have a=5 treatments, b=5 blocks and
k=9. A design could be found by running all five treatments in each block, plus a block from the balanced
incomplete block design with k* = k-a=9-5=4 and O*=3. The design is:

Note that r=9, since the augmenting incomplete block design has r*=4, and r= r* + b = 4+5=9, and O = 2rb+O*=18-5+3=16. Since some treatments are repeated in each block it is possible to compute an error sum
of squares between repeat observations. The difference between this and the residual sum of squares is due
to interaction. The analysis of variance table is shown below:

The Model F-value of 8.00 implies the model is significant. There is only a 0.26% chance that a
"Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B are significant model terms.
Values greater than 0.1000 indicate the model terms are not significant.
If there are many insignificant model terms (not counting those required to support hierarchy),
model reduction may improve your model.

(b) Prepare appropriate residual plots and comment on the model’s adequacy.
The residuals plot show no serious deviations from the assumptions.

Pressure set at 215 and Temperature at the high level, 170 degrees C, give the highest yield.
The standard analysis of variance treats all design factors as if they were qualitative. In this case, both
factors are quantitative, so some further analysis can be performed. In Section 5-5, we show how response
curves and surfaces can be fit to the data from a factorial experiment with at least one quantative factor.
Since both factors in this problem are quantitative and have three levels, we can fit linear and quadratic
effects of both temperature and pressure, exactly as in Example 5-5 in the text. The Design-Expert
output, including the response surface plots, now follows.

The Model F-value of 16.18 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B, A2, B2 are significant model terms.
Values greater than 0.1000 indicate the model terms are not significant.
If there are many insignificant model terms (not counting those required to support hierarchy),
model reduction may improve your model.

5-7 A mechanical engineer is studying the thrust force developed by a drill press. He suspects that the
drilling speed and the feed rate of the material are the most important factors. He selects four feed rates
and uses a high and low drill speed chosen to represent the extreme operating conditions. He obtains the
following results. Analyze the data and draw conclusions. Use D = 0.05.

The standard analysis of variance treats all design factors as if they were qualitative. In this case, both
factors are quantitative, so some further analysis can be performed. In Section 5-5, we show how response
curves and surfaces can be fit to the data from a factorial experiment with at least one quantative factor.
Since both factors in this problem are quantitative and have three levels, we can fit linear and quadratic
effects of both temperature and pressure, exactly as in Example 5-5 in the text. The Design-Expert
output, including the response surface plots, now follows.

If there are many insignificant model terms (not counting those required to support hierarchy),
model reduction may improve your model.

For the highest strength, run the process with the percentage of hardwood at 2, the pressure at 650, and
the time at 4 hours.
The standard analysis of variance treats all design factors as if they were qualitative. In this case, all three
factors are quantitative, so some further analysis can be performed. In Section 5-5, we show how response
curves and surfaces can be fit to the data from a factorial experiment with at least one quantative factor.
Since the factors in this problem are quantitative and two of them have three levels, we can fit linear and
quadratic. The Design-Expert output, including the response surface plots, now follows.

The Model F-value of 11.85 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B, C2, AC, A2C, AC2, BC2 are significant model terms.
Values greater than 0.1000 indicate the model terms are not significant.
If there are many insignificant model terms (not counting those required to support hierarchy),
model reduction may improve your model.

(e) Based on the analysis of main effects and interaction plots, what levels of A, B, and C would you
recommend using?
Since B has a positive effect, set B at the high level to increase life. The AC interaction plot reveals that
life would be maximized with C at the high level and A at the low level.

6-2 Reconsider part (c) of Problem 6-1. Use the regression model to generate response surface and
contour plots of the tool life response. Interpret these plots. Do they provide insight regarding the
desirable operating conditions for this process?
The response surface plot and the contour plot in terms of factors A and C with B at the high level are
shown below. They show the curvature due to the AC interaction. These plots make it easy to see the
region of greatest tool life.

This method identifies the same factors as the analysis of variance.
6-5 A router is used to cut locating notches on a printed circuit board. The vibration level at the
surface of the board as it is cut is considered to be a major source of dimensional variation in the notches.
Two factors are thought to influence vibration: bit size (A) and cutting speed (B). Two bit sizes (1/16 and
1/8 inch) and two speeds (40 and 90 rpm) are selected, and four boards are cut at each set of conditions
shown below. The response variable is vibration measured as a resultant vector of three accelerometers (x,
y, and z) on each test circuit board.

There is nothing unusual about the residual plots.
(c) Draw the AB interaction plot. Interpret this plot. What levels of bit size and speed would you
recommend for routine operation?
To reduce the vibration, use the smaller bit. Once the small bit is specified, either speed will work equally
well, because the slope of the curve relating vibration to speed for the small tip is approximately zero.
The process is robust to speed changes if the small bit is used.

The Model F-value of 9.77 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 4.39% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
The "Curvature F-value" of 0.00 implies the curvature (as measured by difference between the
average of the center points and the average of the factorial points) in the design space is not
significant relative to the noise. There is a 96.17% chance that a "Curvature F-value"
this large could occur due to noise.

6-9 An industrial engineer employed by a beverage bottler is interested in the effects of two different
typed of 32-ounce bottles on the time to deliver 12-bottle cases of the product. The two bottle types are
glass and plastic. Two workers are used to perform a task consisting of moving 40 cases of the product 50
feet on a standard type of hand truck and stacking the cases in a display. Four replicates of a 22 factorial
design are performed, and the times observed are listed in the following table. Analyze the data and draw
the appropriate conclusions. Analyze the residuals and comment on the model’s adequacy.

6-12 An article in the AT&T Technical Journal (March/April 1986, Vol. 65, pp. 39-50) describes the
application of two-level factorial designs to integrated circuit manufacturing. A basic processing step is to
grow an epitaxial layer on polished silicon wafers. The wafers mounted on a susceptor are positioned
inside a bell jar, and chemical vapors are introduced. The susceptor is rotated and heat is applied until the
epitaxial layer is thick enough. An experiment was run using two factors: arsenic flow rate (A) and
deposition time (B). Four replicates were run, and the epitaxial layer thickness was measured (in mm).

One approach would be to replace the observation with the average of the observations from that
experimental cell. Another approach would be to identify if there was a recording issue in the original
data. The first analysis below replaces the data point with the average of the other three. The second

The Model F-value of 468.99 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B, C, D, AB, AC, ABC are significant model terms.

(f) What recommendations would you make regarding process operations?
Use interaction and/or main effect plots to assist in drawing conclusions. From the interaction plots,
choose A at the high level and B at the high level. In each of these plots, D can be at either level. From
the main effects plot of C, choose C at the high level. Based on the range analysis, with C at the high
level, D should be set at the low level.

6-18 An article in Solid State Technology (“Orthogonal Design for Process Optimization and Its
Application in Plasma Etching,” May 1987, pp. 127-132) describes the application of factorial designs in
developing a nitride etch process on a single-wafer plasma etcher. The process uses C2F6 as the reactant
gas. Four factors are of interest: anode-cathode gap (A), pressure in the reactor chamber (B), C2F6 gas
flow (C), and power applied to the cathode (D). The response variable of interest is the etch rate for
silicon nitride. A single replicate of a 24 design in run, and the data are shown below:

The plot of residuals versus run order can reveal trends in the process over time, inequality of variance
with time, and possibly indicate that there may be factors that were not included in the original
experiment.

(b) Suppose that it was necessary to operate this process at an etch rate of 800 Å/min. What settings of
the process variables would you recommend?
Run at the low level of anode-cathode gap (0.80 cm) and at a cathode power level of about 286 watts. The
curve is flatter (more robust) on the low end of the anode-cathode variable.
6-20 Consider the single replicate of the 24 design in Example 6-2. Suppose we had arbitrarily decided
to analyze the data assuming that all three- and four-factor interactions were negligible. Conduct this
analysis and compare your results with those obtained in the example. Do you think that it is a good idea
to arbitrarily assume interactions to be negligible even if they are relatively high-order ones?

in learning by doing. I have taught experimental design for many years to a wide variety of audiences and
have always assigned the planning, conduct, and analysis of an actual experiment to the class participants.

problem uses the results of an experiment performed by Gretchen Krueger at Arizona State University.
There are many different ways to bake brownies. The purpose of this experiment was to determine how
the pan material, the brand of brownie mix, and the stirring method affect the scrumptiousness of
brownies. The factor levels were
Factor
A = pan material
B = stirring method
C = brand of mix

Low (-)
Glass
Spoon
Expensive

High (+)
Aluminum
Mixer
Cheap

The response variable was scrumptiousness, a subjective measure derived from a questionnaire given to
the subjects who sampled each batch of brownies. (The questionnaire dealt with such issues as taste,
appearance, consistency, aroma, and so forth.) An eight-person test panel sampled each batch and filled
out the questionnaire. The design matrix and the response data are shown below:

a 4.75% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A are significant model terms.

In this analysis, A, the pan material and B, the stirring method, appear to be significant. There are 56
degrees of freedom for the error, yet only eight batches of brownies were cooked, one for each recipe.
(b) Is the analysis in part (a) the correct approach? There are only eight batches; do we really have eight
replicates of a 23 factorial design?
The different rankings by the taste-test panel are not replicates, but repeat observations by differenttesters
on the same batch of brownies. It is not a good idea to use the analysis in part (a) because the estimate of
error may not reflect the batch-to-batch variation.
(c) Analyze the average and standard deviation of the scrumptiousness ratings. Comment on the results.
Is this analysis more appropriate than the one in part (a)? Why or why not?

Variables A and B affect the mean rank of the brownies. Note that the AC interaction affects the standard
deviation of the ranks. This is an indication that both factors A and C have some effect on the variability
in the ranks. It may also indicate that there is some inconsistency in the taste test panel members. For the
analysis of both the average of the ranks and the standard deviation of the ranks, the mean square error is

The Model F-value of 68.01 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, C, D, AC, AD are significant model terms.
The "Curvature F-value" of 1.75 implies the curvature (as measured by difference between the
average of the center points and the average of the factorial points) in the design space is not
significant relative to the noise. There is a 20.66% chance that a "Curvature F-value"
this large could occur due to noise.

There is no indication of curvature.

6-29 A missing value in a 2k factorial. It is not unusual to find that one of the observations in a 2k
design is missing due to faulty measuring equipment, a spoiled test, or some other reason. If the design is
replicated n times (n>1) some of the techniques discussed in Chapter 14 can be employed, including
estimating the missing observations. However, for an unreplicated factorial (n-1) some other method must
be used. One logical approach is to estimate the missing value with a number that makes the highestorder interaction contrast zero. Apply this technique to the experiment in Example 6-2 assuming that run
ab is missing. Compare the results with the results of Example 6-2.

Effect

6-30 An engineer has performed an experiment to study the effect of four factors on the surface
roughness of a machined part. The factors (and their levels) are A = tool angle (12 degrees, 15 degrees),
B = cutting fluid viscosity (300, 400), C = feed rate (10 in/min, 15 in/min), and D = cutting fluid cooler
used (no, yes). The data from this experiment (with the factors coded to the usual -1, +1 levels) are shown
below.

The Model F-value of 490.37 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B are significant model terms.
The "Curvature F-value" of 191.98 implies there is significant curvature (as measured by
difference between the average of the center points and the average of the factorial points) in
the design space. There is only a 0.01% chance that a "Curvature F-value" this large
could occur due to noise.

The curvature test indicates that the model has significant pure quadratic curvature.
6.33 Often the fitted regression model from a 2k factorial design is used to make predictions at points of
interest in the design space.
(a) Find the variance of the predicted response ŷ at the point x1 , x 2 ,…, x k in the design space. Hint:
Remember that the x’s are coded variables, and assume a 2k design with an equal number of replicates
V2
n at each design point so that the variance of a regression coefficient Ê is
and that the
n2 k
covariance between any pair of regression coefficients is zero.
Let’s assume that the model can be written as follows:

6-61

Solutions from Montgomery, D. C. (2001) Design and Analysis of Experiments, Wiley, NY

yˆ (x)=Eˆ0  Eˆ1 x1  Eˆ 2 x2  ...  Eˆ p x p
where xc

[ x1 , x2 ,..., xk ] are the values of the original variables in the design at the point of interest
where a prediction is required , and the variables in the model x1 , x2 ,..., x p potentially include interaction

terms among the original k variables. Now the variance of the predicted response is

V [ yˆ (x)] V ( Eˆ0  Eˆ1 x1  Eˆ2 x2  ...  Eˆ p x p )
V ( Eˆ0 )  V ( Eˆ1 x1 )  V ( Eˆ2 x2 )  ...  V ( Eˆ p x p )
p
·
V2 §
1  ¦ xi2 ¸
k ¨
n2 © i 1 ¹

This result follows because the design is orthogonal and all model parameter estimates have the same
variance. Remember that some of the x’s involved in this equation are potentially interaction terms.
(b) Use the result of part (a) to find an equation for a 100(1-D)% confidence interval on the true mean
response at the point x1 , x 2 ,…, x k in the design space.
The confidence interval is

yˆ (x)  tD / 2, df E V [ yˆ (x)] d y (x) d yˆ (x)  tD / 2, df E V [ yˆ (x)]
where dfE is the number of degrees of freedom used to estimate V and the estimate of V has been
used in computing the variance of the predicted value of the response at the point of interest.

6.34 Hierarchical Models. Several times we have utilized the hierarchy principal in selecting a model;
that is, we have included non-significant terms in a model because they were factors involved in
significant higher-order terms. Hierarchy is certainly not an absolute principle that must be followed in
all cases. To illustrate, consider the model resulting from Problem 6-1, which required that a nonsignificant main effect be included to achieve hierarchy. Using the data from Problem 6-1:
(a) Fit both the hierarchical model and the non-hierarchical model.

(b) Calculate the PRESS statistic, the adjusted R2 and the mean square error for both models.
The PRESS and R2 are in the Design Expert Output above. The PRESS is smaller for the nonhierarchical model than the hierarchical model suggesting that the non-hierarchical model is a better
predictor.

(d) Based on the analyses you have conducted, which model would you prefer?
Notice that PRESS is smaller and the adjusted R2 is larger for the non-hierarchical model. This is an
indication that strict adherence to the hierarchy principle isn’t always necessary. Note also that the
confidence interval is shorter for the non-hierarchical model.

C, A and AC + BD are the largest three effects. Now because the main effects of A and C are large, the
large effect estimate for the AC + BD alias chain probably indicates that the AC interaction is important.

their two-factor interaction aliases in the combined design.
8-6 R.D. Snee (“Experimenting with a Large Number of Variables,” in Experiments in Industry:
Design, Analysis and Interpretation of Results, by R.D. Snee, L.B. Hare, and J.B. Trout, Editors, ASQC,
1985) describes an experiment in which a 25-1 design with I=ABCDE was used to investigate the effects of
five factors on the color of a chemical product. The factors are A = solvent/reactant, B = catalyst/reactant,
C = temperature, D = reactant purity, and E = reactant pH. The results obtained were as follows:

The residual plots are satisfactory.
(c) If any factors are negligible, collapse the 25-1 design into a full factorial in the active factors.
Comment on the resulting design, and interpret the results.
The design becomes two replicates of a 23 in the factors A, B and D. When re-analyzing the data in three
factors, D becomes labeled as C.

8-7 An article by J.J. Pignatiello, Jr. And J.S. Ramberg in the Journal of Quality Technology, (Vol. 17,
1985, pp. 198-206) describes the use of a replicated fractional factorial to investigate the effects of five
factors on the free height of leaf springs used in an automotive application. The factors are A = furnace
temperature, B = heating time, C = transfer time, D = hold down time, and E = quench oil temperature.

(e) Is this the best possible design for five factors in 16 runs? Specifically, can you find a fractional
design for five factors in 16 runs with a higher resolution than this one?
This was not the best design. A resolution V design is possible by setting the generator equal to the
highest order interaction, ABCDE.
8-8 An article in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (“More on Planning Experiments to Increase
Research Efficiency,” 1970, pp. 60-65) uses a 25-2 design to investigate the effect of A = condensation, B =
amount of material 1, C = solvent volume, D = condensation time, and E = amount of material 2 on yield.
The results obtained are as follows:

(d) Prepare an analysis of variance table. Verify that the AB and AD interactions are available to use as
error.
The analysis of variance table is shown below. Part (b) shows that AB and AD are aliased with other
factors. If all two-factor and three factor interactions are negligible, then AB and AD could be pooled as
an estimate of error.

Run the process with A at the high level, B at the low level, C at the low level and D at either level (the
low level of D may give a faster process).

D=ABH, E=ACH, F=BCH, and G=ABC. This is a 28IV 4 design. It is a minimal design, since it contains
2k=2(8)=16 runs.

generators I=ABDF and I=BCEF. It is not a minimal design, since 2k=2(6)=12 runs, and the design
contains 16 runs.

8-19 An industrial engineer is conducting an experiment using a Monte Carlo simulation model of an
inventory system. The independent variables in her model are the order quantity (A), the reorder point
(B), the setup cost (C), the backorder cost (D), and the carrying cost rate (E). The response variable is
average annual cost. To conserve computer time, she decides to investigate these factors using a 2 5III 2
design with I = ABD and I = BCE. The results she obtains are de = 95, ae = 134, b = 158, abd = 190, cd
= 92, ac = 187, bce = 155, and abcde = 185.

8-22 Irregular fractions of the 2k [John (1971)]. Consider a 24 design. We must estimate the four
main effects and the six two-factor interactions, but the full 24 factorial cannot be run. The largest
possible block contains 12 runs. These 12 runs can be obtained from the four one-quarter fractions
defined by I = r AB = r ACD = r BCD by omitting the principal fraction. Show how the remaining three
24-2 fractions can be combined to estimate the required effects, assuming that three-factor and higher
interactions are negligible. This design could be thought of as a three-quarter fraction.
The four 24-2 fractions are as follows:

8-36

Solutions from Montgomery, D. C. (2001) Design and Analysis of Experiments, Wiley, NY

(1) I=+AB=+ACD=+BCD
Runs: c,d,ab,abcd
(2) I=+AB=-ACD=-BCD
Runs: (1), cd, abc, abd
(3) I=-AB=+ACD=-BCD
Runs: a, bc, bd, acd
(4) I=-AB=-ACD=+BCD
Runs: b, ac, ad, bcd
If we do not run the principal fraction (1), then we can combine the remaining 3 fractions to from 3 onehalf fractions of the 24 as follows:
Fraction 1: (2) + (3) implies I=-BCD. This fraction estimates: A, AB, AC, and AD
Fraction 2: (2) + (4) implies I=-ACD. This fraction estimates: B, BC, BD, and AB
Fraction 3: (3) + (4) implies I=-AB. This fraction estimates: C, D, and CD
In estimating these effects we assume that all three-factor and higher interactions are negligible. Note
that AB is estimated in two of the one-half fractions: 1 and 2. We would average these quantities and
obtain a single estimate of AB. John (1971, pp. 161-163) discusses this design and shows that the
estimates obtained above are also the least squares estimates. John also derives the variances and
covariances of these estimators.
8-23 Carbon anodes used in a smelting process are baked in a ring furnace. An experiment is run in the
furnace to determine which factors influence the weight of packing material that is stuck to the anodes
after baking. Six variables are of interest, each at two levels: A = pitch/fines ratio (0.45, 0.55); B =
packing material type (1, 2); C = packing material temperature (ambient, 325 C); D = flue location
(inside, outside); E = pit temperature (ambient, 195 C); and F = delay time before packing (zero, 24
hours). A 26-3 design is run, and three replicates are obtained at each of the design points. The weight of
packing material stuck to the anodes is measured in grams. The data in run order are as follows: abd =
(984, 826, 936); abcdef = (1275, 976, 1457); be = (1217, 1201, 890); af = (1474, 1164, 1541); def =
(1320, 1156, 913); cd = (765, 705, 821); ace = (1338, 1254, 1294); and bcf = (1325, 1299, 1253). We
wish to minimize the amount stuck packing material.

(d) What recommendations would you make to the process engineers?
It is not known exactly what to do here, since A, D, E and F are large effects, and because the design is
resolution III, the main effects are aliased with two-factor interactions. Note, for example, that D is
aliased with EF and the main effect could really be a EF interaction. If the main effects are really
important, then setting all factors at the low level would minimize the amount of material stuck to the
anodes. It would be necessary to run additional experiments to confirm these findings.
8-24 A 16-run experiment was performed in a semiconductor manufacturing plant to study the effects of
six factors on the curvature or camber of the substrate devices produced. The six variables and their levels
are shown below:

Run A and C at the low level and E and F at the high level. B at the low level enables a lower variation
without affecting the average camber.
8-25 A spin coater is used to apply photoresist to a bare silicon wafer. This operation usually occurs
early in the semiconductor manufacturing process, and the average coating thickness and the variability in
the coating thickness has an important impact on downstream manufacturing steps. Six variables are
used in the experiment. The variables and their high and low levels are as follows:
Factor
Final Spin Speed
Acceleration Rate
Volume of Resist Applied
Time of Spin
Resist Batch Variation
Exhaust Pressure

The experimenter decides to use a 26-1 design and to make three readings on resist thickness on each test
wafer. The data are shown in table 8-29.

(c) Since the volume of resist applied has little effect on average thickness, does this have any important
practical implications for the process engineers?
Yes, less material could be used.
(d) Project this design into a smaller design involving only the significant factors. Graphically display
the results. Does this aid in interpretation?

The model here for variability isn’t very strong. Notice the small value of R2, and in particular, the
adjusted R2. Often we find that obtaining a good model for a response that expresses variability isn’t as
easy as finding a satisfactory model for a response that essentially measures the mean.
(f) Where would you recommend that the process engineers run the process?
Considering only the average thickness results, the engineers could use factors B, D and E to put the
process mean at target. Then the engineer could consider the other factors on the range model to try to set
the factors to reduce the variation in thickness at that mean.
8-26 Harry and Judy Peterson-Nedry (two friends of the author) own a vineyard in Oregon. They grow
several varieties of grapes and manufacture wine. Harry and Judy have used factorial designs for process
and product development in the winemaking segment of their business. This problem describes the
experiment conducted for their 1985 Pinot Noir. Eight variables, shown below, were originally studied in
this experiment:

Harry and Judy decided to use a 28IV4 design with 16 runs. The wine was taste-tested by a panel of experts
on 8 March 1986. Each expert ranked the 16 samples of wine tasted, with rank 1 being the best. The
design and taste-test panel results are shown in Table 8-30.

Factors D, F, G and the AD interaction are important. Factor A is added to the model to preserve
hierarchy. Notice that the AD interaction is aliased with other two-factor interactions that could also be
important. So the interpretation of the two-factor interaction is somewhat uncertain. Normally, we would
add runs to the design to isolate the significant interactions, but that won’t work very well here because
each experiment requires a full growing season. In other words, it would require a very long time to add
runs to dealias the alias chain of interest.

The standard deviation response is much the same with or without DCM’s responses. Again, there are no
significant factors.
(e) Suppose that just before the start of the experiment, Harry and Judy discovered that the eight new
barrels they ordered from France for use in the experiment would not arrive in time, and all 16 runs
would have to be made with old barrels. If Harry and Judy just drop column C from their design,
what does this do to the alias relationships? Do they need to start over and construct a new design?
The resulting design is a 2 7IV 3 with defining relations: I = ABEF = ADEG = BDFG = ABDH = DEFH =
BEGH = AFGH.
(f) Harry and Judy know from experience that some treatment combinations are unlikely to produce good
results. For example, the run with all eight variables at the high level generally results in a poorly
rated wine. This was confirmed in the 8 March 1986 taste test. They want to set up a new design to
make the run with all eight factors at the high level. What design would you suggest?
By changing the sign of any of the design generators, a design that does not include the principal fraction
will be generated. This will give a design without an experimental run combination with all of the
variables at the high level.
8-27 In an article in Quality Engineering (“An Application of Fractional Factorial Experimental
Designs,” 1988, Vol. 1 pp. 19-23) M.B. Kilgo describes an experiment to determine the effect of CO2
pressure (A), CO2 temperature (B), peanut moisture (C), CO2 flow rate (D), and peanut particle size (E) on
the total yield of oil per batch of peanuts (y). The levels she used for these factors are as follows:

8-28 A 16-run fractional factorial experiment in 10 factors on sand-casting of engine manifolds was
conducted by engineers at the Essex Aluminum Plant of the Ford Motor Company and described in the
article “Evaporative Cast Process 3.0 Liter Intake Manifold Poor Sandfill Study,” by D. Becknell (Fourth
Symposium on Taguchi Methods, American Supplier Institute, Dearborn, MI, 1986, pp. 120-130). The
purpose was to determine which of 10 factors has an effect on the proportion of defective castings. The
design and the resulting proportion of nondefective castings p observed on each run are shown below.

8-60

Solutions from Montgomery, D. C. (2001) Design and Analysis of Experiments, Wiley, NY
This is a resolution III fraction with generators E=CD, F=BD, G=BC, H=AC, J=AB, and K=ABC.
Assume that the number of castings made at each run in the design is 1000.

The residual versus predicted plot identifies an inequality of variances. This is likely caused by the
response variable being a proportion. A transformation could be used to correct this.

(e) In part (d) you should have noticed an indication that the variance of the response is not constant
(considering that the response is a proportion, you should have expected this). The previous table
also shows a transformation on P, the arcsin square root, that is a widely used variance stabilizing
transformation for proportion data (refer to the discussion of variance stabilizing transformations is
Chapter 3). Repeat parts (a) through (d) above using the transformed response and comment on your
results. Specifically, are the residuals plots improved?

8-29 A 16-run fractional factorial experiment in 9 factors was conducted by Chrysler Motors
Engineering and described in the article “Sheet Molded Compound Process Improvement,” by P.I. Hsieh
and D.E. Goodwin (Fourth Symposium on Taguchi Methods, American Supplier Institute, Dearborn, MI,
1986, pp. 13-21). The purpose was to reduce the number of defects in the finish of sheet-molded grill
opening panels. The design, and the resulting number of defects, c, observed on each run, is shown
below. This is a resolution III fraction with generators E=BD, F=BCD, G=AC, H=ACD, and J=AB.

Predicted

There is a significant problem with inequality of variance. This is likely caused by the response variable
being a count. A transformation may be appropriate.
(e) In part (d) you should have noticed an indication that the variance of the response is not constant
(considering that the response is a count, you should have expected this). The previous table also
shows a transformation on c, the square root, that is a widely used variance stabilizing transformation
for count data (refer to the discussion of variance stabilizing transformations in Chapter 3). Repeat
parts (a) through (d) using the transformed response and comment on your results. Specifically, are
the residual plots improved?

8-31 Heat treating is often used to carbonize metal parts, such as gears. The thickness of the carbonized
layer is a critical output variable from this process, and it is usually measured by performing a carbon
analysis on the gear pitch (top of the gear tooth). Six factors were studied on a 2 6IV 2 design: A = furnace
temperature, B = cycle time, C = carbon concentration, D = duration of the carbonizing cycle, E = carbon
concentration of the diffuse cycle, and F = duration of the diffuse cycle. The experiment is shown below:

(c) Analyze the residuals and comment on model adequacy.
The residual plots are acceptable. The normality and equality of variance assumptions are verified. There
does not appear to be any trends or interruptions in the residuals versus run order plot. The plots of the
residuals versus factors C and E identify reduced variation at the lower level of both variables while the
plot of residuals versus factor F identifies reduced variation at the upper level. Because C and E are
significant factors in the model, this might not affect the decision on the optimum solution for the process.
However, factor F is not included in the model and may be set at the upper level to reduce variation.

The Model F-value of 10.66 implies the model is significant. There is only
a 0.01% chance that a "Model F-Value" this large could occur due to noise.
Values of "Prob > F" less than 0.0500 indicate model terms are significant.
In this case A, B are significant model terms.

Concentration and time are significant. The interaction is not significant. By letting both A and B be
treated as numerical factors, the analysis can be performed as follows:

Any experiment with 81 runs is large. Instead of having three full levels of each factor, if two levels of
each factor could be used, then the overall design would have 16 runs plus some center points. This twolevel design could now probably be run in 2 or 4 blocks, with center points in each block. Additional
curvature effects could be determined by augmenting the experiment with the axial points of a central
composite design and additional enter points. The overall design would be less than 81 runs.

The sums of squares for A, B, C, AB, AC, and BC are calculated as usual. The only sums of squares
presenting difficulties with calculations are the four components of the ABC interaction (ABC, ABC2,
AB2C, and AB2C2). ABC is computed using replicate I and ABC2 is computed using replicate II. AB2C
and AB2C2 are computed using data from both replicates.
We will show how to calculate AB2C and AB2C2 from both replicates. Form a two-way table of A x B at
each level of C. Find the I(AB) and J(AB) totals for each third of the A x B table.

Confounding in this series of designs is discussed extensively by Margolin (1967). The possibilities for a
single replicate of the 2232 design are:
2 blocks of 18 observations
3 blocks of 12 observations
4 blocks of 9 observations

6 blocks of 6 observations
9 blocks of 4 observations

For example, one component of the four-factor interaction, say ABCD2, could be selected to confound the
design in 3 blocks for 12 observations each, while to confound the design in 2 blocks of 18 observations 3
each we would select the AB interaction. Cochran and Cox (1957) and Anderson and McLean (1974)
discuss confounding in these designs.
9-20 Starting with a 16-run 24 design, show how two three-level factors can be incorporated in this
experiment. How many two-level factors can be included if we want some information on two-factor
interactions?
Use column A and B for one three-level factor and columns C and D for the other. Use the AC and BD
columns for the two, two-level factors. The design will be of resolution V.
9-21 Starting with a 16-run 24 design, show how one three-level factor and three two-level factors can be
accommodated and still allow the estimation of two-factor interactions.
Use columns A and B for the three-level factor, and columns C and D and ABCD for the three two-level
factors. This design will be of resolution V.
9-22 In Problem 9-26, you met Harry and Judy Peterson-Nedry, two friends of the author who have a
winery and vineyard in Newberg, Oregon. That problem described the application of two-level fractional
factorial designs to their 1985 Pinor Noir product. In 1987, they wanted to conduct another Pinot Noir
experiment. The variables for this experiment were

The experiment from Problem 8-26 indicates that yeast, barrel, whole cluster and the clone x yeast
interactions were significant. This experiment indicates that maceration time, whole berry, clone and
fermentation temperature are significant.
9-23 An article by W.D. Baten in the 1956 volume of Industrial Quality Control described an
experiment to study the effect of three factors on the lengths of steel bars. Each bar was subjected to one
of two heat treatment processes, and was cut on one of four machines at one of three times during the day
(8 am, 11 am, or 3 pm). The coded length data are shown below
(a) Analyze the data from this experiment assuming that the four observations in each cell are replicates.
The Machine effect (C) is significant, the Heat Treat Process (B) is also significant, while the Time of Day

(d) Calculate the log variance of the observations in each cell. Analyze the average length and the log
variance of the length for each of the 12 bars cut at each machine/heat treatment process combination.
What conclusions can you draw?
Factor B, Heat Treat Process, has an affect on the log variance of the observations while Factor A, Time of
Day, and Factor C, Machine, are not significant at the 5 percent level. However, A is significant at the 10
percent level, so Tome of Day has some effect on the variance.

Because the Means Square of the AB interaction is much less than the main effects, it is removed from the
model and placed in the error. The average length is strongly affected by Factor B, Machine, and
moderately affected by Factor A, Heat Treat Process. The interaction effect was small and removed from
the model.

The normal probability plot is satisfactory, as is the plot of residuals versus run order (assuming that
observation order is run order). The plot of residuals versus predicted response exhibits a slight “bow”
shape. This could be an indication of lack of fit. It might be useful to consider adding some ineraction
terms to the model.

The X’X is not diagonal, even though an orthogonal design has been used. The reason is that we have
worked with the natural factor levels, not the orthogonally coded variables.

The X’X is not diagonal, even though an orthogonal design has been used. The reason is that we have not
used orthogonally coded variables.
(e) Summarize what you have learned from this problem about coding the variables.
If the design is orthogonal, use the orthogonal coding. This not only makes the analysis somewhat easier,
but it also results in model coefficients that are easier to interpret because they are both dimensionless and
uncorrelated.

(d) Considering parts (a) and (c), which augmentation strategy would you prefer and why?
If you only have the resources to run one more run, then choose the one-run augmentation. But if
resources are not scarce, then augment the design in multiples of two runs, to keep the design orthogonal.
Using four runs results in smaller variances of the regression coefficients and a simpler covariance
structure.
10-18 Consider the 2 7III 4 . Suppose after running the experiment, the largest observed effects are A +
BD, B + AD, and D + AB. You wish to augment the original design with a group of four runs to dealias
these effects.
(a) Which four runs would you make?
Take the first four runs of the original experiment and change the sign on A.

From the computer output use the model ŷ 84  0.85 x1  0.25 x2 as the equation for steepest ascent.
Suppose we use a one degree change in temperature as the basic step size. Thus, the path of steepest
ascent passes through the point (x1=0, x2=0) and has a slope 0.25/0.85. In the coded variables, one degree
of temperature is equivalent to a step of 'x1 1/5=0.2. Thus, 'x 2 (0.25/0.85)0.2=0.059. The path of

The equation used to compute the path of steepest ascent is ŷ 659  9.25 x1  13.25 x3  7.50 x4 . Notice
that even though the model contains interaction, it is relatively common practice to ignore the interactions
in computing the path of steepest ascent. This means that the path constructed is only an approximation
to the path that would have been obtained if the interactions were considered, but it’s usually close enough
to give satisfactory results.
It is helpful to give a general method for finding the path of steepest ascent. Suppose we have a first-order
model in k variables, say
ŷ

Eˆ 0 

k

¦ Eˆ x

i i

i 1

The path of steepest ascent passes through the origin, x=0, and through the point on a hypersphere of
radius, R where ŷ is a maximum. Thus, the x’s must satisfy the constraint
k

¦x

2
i

R2

i 1

It is customary to specify a basic step size in one of the variables, say ' xj, and then calculate 2 O as
2 O = Eˆ j / 'x j . Then this value of 2 O can be used to generate the remaining coordinates of a point on
the path of steepest ascent.
We demonstrate using the data from this problem. Suppose that we use -10 units in [1 as the basic step
size. Note that a decrease in [1 is called for, because we are looking for a path of steepest decent. Now
-10 units in [1 is equal to -10/20 = -0.5 units change in x1.
Thus, 2 O = Eˆ 1 / 'x1 = 9.25/(-0.5) = -18.50

there is no interaction. However, even if there is interaction, steepest ascent ignoring the interaction still
usually produces good results. To illustrate, suppose that we have fit the model

The stationary point is (x1, x2, x3) = (2.18496, -0.87167, 2.75860). This is outside the design region. It
would be necessary to either examine contour plots or use numerical optimization methods to find desired
operating conditions.
(d) What operating conditions would you recommend if it is important to obtain a viscosity that is as
close to 600 as possible?

11-13 A manufacturer of cutting tools has developed two empirical equations for tool life in hours (y1)
and for tool cost in dollars (y2). Both models are linear functions of steel hardness (x1) and
manufacturing time (x2). The two equations are
ŷ1 10  5 x1  2 x 2
ŷ 2 23  3x1  4 x 2
and both equations are valid over the range -1.5dx1d1.5. Unit tool cost must be below $27.50 and life
must exceed 12 hours for the product to be competitive. Is there a feasible set of operating conditions for
this process? Where would you recommend that the process be run?
The contour plots below graphically describe the two models. The overlay plot identifies the feasible
operating region for the process.

The residual plots are much improved following the natural log transformation; however, the two runs
still appear to be somewhat unusual and should be investigated further. They will be retained in the
analysis.

11-19 Blocking in the central composite design. Consider a central composite design for k = 4 variables
in two blocks. Can a rotatable design always be found that blocks orthogonally?
To run a central composite design in two blocks, assign the nf factorial points and the n01 center points to
block 1 and the 2k axial points plus n02 center points to block 2. Both blocks will be orthogonal first order
designs, so the first condition for orthogonal blocking is satisfied.

It is not possible to find rotatable central composite designs which block orthogonally for all k. For
example, if k=3, the above condition cannot be satisfied. For k=2, there must be an equal number of
center points in each block, i.e. nc1 = nc2. For k=4, we must have nc1 = 4 and nc2 = 2.

Notice that the alias structure is different from that found in the previous part for the 23-1 design. In
general, the A matrix will depend on which simplex design is used.
11-23 In an article (“Let’s All Beware the Latin Square,” Quality Engineering, Vol. 1, 1989, pp. 453465) J.S. Hunter illustrates some of the problems associated with 3k-p fractional factorial designs. Factor A
is the amount of ethanol added to a standard fuel and factor B represents the air/fuel ratio. The response
variable is carbon monoxide (CO) emission in g/m2. The design is shown below.

Notice that we have used the notation system of 0, 1, and 2 to represent the low, medium, and high levels
for the factors. We have also used a “geometric notation” of -1, 0, and 1. Each run in the design is
replicated twice.

In the computer output that follows, the “coded factors” model is in the -1, 0, +1 scale.

11-27 A chemical engineer wishes to fit a calibration curve for a new procedure used to measure the
concentration of a particular ingredient in a product manufactured in his facility. Twelve samples can be
prepared, having known concentration. The engineer’s interest is in building a model for the measured
concentrations. He suspects that a linear calibration curve will be adequate to model the measured
concentration as a function of the known concentrations; that is, where x is the actual concentration. Four
experimental designs are under consideration. Design 1 consists of 6 runs at known concentration 1 and 6
runs at known concentration 10. Design 2 consists of 4 runs at concentrations 1, 5.5, and 10. Design 3
consists of 3 runs at concentrations 1, 4, 7, and 10. Finally, design 4 consists of 3 runs at concentrations 1
and 10 and 6 runs at concentration 5.5.
(a) Plot the scaled variance of prediction for all four designs on the same graph over the concentration
range. Which design would be preferable, in your opinion?

both responses? Find a set of conditions that maximize conversion with activity between 55 and 60, and

11-33 An experiment has been run in a process that applies a coating material to a wafer. Each run in the
experiment produced a wafer, and the coating thickness was measured several times at different locations
on the wafer. Then the mean y1, and standard deviation y2 of the thickness measurement was obtained.
The data [adapted from Box and Draper (1987)] are shown in the table below.

(a) What type of design did the experimenters use? Is this a good choice of design for fitting a quadratic
model?
The design is a 33. A better choice would be a 23 central composite design. The CCD gives more
information over the design region with fewer points.

(d) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. Are the basic analysis of variance assumptions satisfied?
There are five residuals that stand out in the normal probability plot. From the Residual vs. Batch plot, we
see that one point per batch appears to stand out. A natural log transformation was applied to the data but
did not change the results of the residual analysis. Further investigation should probably be performed to
determine if these points are outliers.

Two data points appear to be outliers in the normal probability plot of effects. These outliers belong to
chemical types 1 and 3 and should be investigated. There seems to be much less variability in brightness
with chemical type 4.

12-19 Consider a four-factor factorial experiment where factor A is at a levels, factor B is at b levels, factor
C is at c levels, factor D is at d levels, and there are n replicates. Write down the sums of squares, the
degrees of freedom, and the expected mean squares for the following cases. Do exact tests exist for all
effects? If not, propose test statistics for those effects that cannot be directly tested. Assume the restricted
model on all cases. You may use a computer package such as Minitab.
The four factor model is:

If all the factors are random, can any effects be tested? If the three-factor interaction and the ( WE) ij
interaction do not exist, can all the remaining effects be tested.
The expected mean squares are found by referring to Table 12-9, deleting the line for the error term H( ijk ) l
and setting n=1. The three-factor interaction now cannot be tested; however, exact tests exist for the twofactor interactions and approximate F tests can be conducted for the main effects. For example, to test the

12-26 Show that the method of analysis of variance always produces unbiased point estimates of the
variance component in any random or mixed model.
Let g be the vector of mean squares from the analysis of variance, chosen so that E(g) does not contain any
fixed effects. Let V 2 be the vector of variance components such that E(g) AV 2 , where A is a matrix of
constants. Now in the analysis of variance method of variance component estimation, we equate observed
and expected mean squares, i.e.
g = As 2 Ÿ ˆs 2

A -1 g

Since A -1 always exists then,
E s 2 = E A -1 g

A -1 E g = A -1 As 2

s2

Thus V 2 is an unbiased estimator of V 2 . This and other properties of the analysis of variance method are
discussed by Searle (1971a).
12-27 Invoking the usual normality assumptions, find an expression for the probability that a negative
estimate of a variance component will be obtained by the analysis of variance method. Using this result,
write a statement giving the probability that V 2W  0 in a one-factor analysis of variance. Comment on the
usefulness of this probability statement.

In the unrestricted model, the F-test for B is different. The F-test for B in the unrestricted model should
generally be more conservative, since MSAB will generally be larger than MSE. However, this is not the
case with this particular experiment.
12-29 Consider the two-factor mixed model. Show that the standard error of the fixed factor mean (e.g. A)

is >MS AB / bn@1 2 .

The standard error is often used in Duncan’s Multiple Range test. Duncan’s Multiple Range Test requires
the variance of the difference in two means, say
V y i ..  y m..
where rows are fixed and columns are random. Now, assuming all model parameters to be independent, we

13-4 To simplify production scheduling, an industrial engineer is studying the possibility of assigning
one time standard to a particular class of jobs, believing that differences between jobs is negligible. To see
if this simplification is possible, six jobs are randomly selected. Each job is given to a different group of
three operators. Each operator completes the job twice at different times during the week, and the
following results were obtained. What are your conclusions about the use of a common time standard for
all jobs in this class? What value would you use for the standard?

There are 1+a+b equations in 1+a+b unknowns. However, there are a+1linear dependencies in these
equations, and consequently, a+1 side conditions are needed to solve them. Any convenient set of a+1

See “Variance Component Estimation in the 2-way Nested Classification,” by S.R. Searle, Annals of
Mathematical Statistics, Vol. 32, pp. 1161-1166, 1961. A good discussion of variance component
estimation from unbalanced data is in Searle (1971a).
13-13 A process engineer is testing the yield of a product manufactured on three machines. Each
machine can be operated at two power settings. Furthermore, a machine has three stations on which the
product is formed. An experiment is conducted in which each machine is tested at both power settings,
and three observations on yield are taken from each station. The runs are made in random order, and the
results follow. Analyze this experiment, assuming all three factors are fixed.

13-16 A structural engineer is studying the strength of aluminum alloy purchased from three vendors.
Each vendor submits the alloy in standard-sized bars of 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 inches. The processing of
different sizes of bar stock from a common ingot involves different forging techniques, and so this factor
may be important. Furthermore, the bar stock if forged from ingots made in different heats. Each vendor
submits two tests specimens of each size bar stock from the three heats. The resulting strength data
follow. Analyze the data, assuming that vendors and bar size are fixed and heats are random.

13-19 Steel in normalized by heating above the critical temperature, soaking, and then air cooling. This
process increases the strength of the steel, refines the grain, and homogenizes the structure. An
experiment is performed to determine the effect of temperature and heat treatment time on the strength of
normalized steel. Two temperatures and three times are selected. The experiment is performed by
heating the oven to a randomly selected temperature and inserting three specimens. After 10 minutes one
specimen is removed, after 20 minutes the second specimen is removed, and after 30 minutes the final
specimen is removed. Then the temperature is changed to the other level and the process is repeated.
Four shifts are required to collect the data, which are shown below. Analyze the data and draw
conclusions, assume both factors are fixed.

13-20 An experiment is designed to study pigment dispersion in paint. Four different mixes of a
particular pigment are studied. The procedure consists of preparing a particular mix and then applying
that mix to a panel by three application methods (brushing, spraying, and rolling). The response
measured is the percentage reflectance of the pigment. Three days are required to run the experiment, and
the data obtained follow. Analyze the data and draw conclusions, assuming that mixes and application
methods are fixed.

fixed, how many blocks should be run to obtain an adequate number of degrees of freedom on the test for

treatments combinations are run would be determined if this experiment were run as (a) a split-split-plot,
(b) a split-plot, (c) a factorial design in a randomized block, and (d) a completely randomized factorial
design.
(a) Randomization for the split-split plot design is described in Example 13-3.
(b) In the split-plot, within a block, the technicians would be the main treatment and within a blocktechnician plot, the 12 combinations of dosage strength and wall thickness would be run in random
order. The design would be a two-factor factorial in a split-plot.
(c) To run the design in a randomized block, the 36 combinations of technician, dosage strength, and
wall thickness would be ran in random order within each block. The design would be a three factor
factorial in a randomized block.
(d) The blocks would be considered as replicates, and all 144 observations would be 4 replicates of a
three factor factorial.

The Box-Cox plot for the Camber Average suggests a natural log transformation should be applied. This
decision is based on the confidence interval for lambda not including one and the point estimate of lambda
being very close to zero. With a lambda of approximately 0.5, a square root transformation could be
considered for the Camber Standard Deviation; however, the confidence interval indicates that no
transformation is needed.

Because the confidence interval for lambda does not include one, a transformation should be applied. The
natural log transformation should not be considered due to zero not being included in the confidence
interval. The square root transformation appears to be acceptable. However, notice that the value of zero
is very close to the lower confidence limit, and the minimizing value of lambda is between 0 and 0.5. It is
likely that either the natural log or the square root transformation would work reasonably well.
14-9 Problem 11-34 suggests using the ln(s2) as the response (refer to part b). Does the Box-Cox method

14-14 Four different formulations of an industrial glue are being tested. The tensile strength of the glue
when it is applied to join parts is also related to the application thickness. Five observations on strength
(y) in pounds and thickness (x) in 0.01 inches are obtained for each formulation. The data are shown in
the following table. Analyze these data and draw appropriate conclusions.

14-16 An engineer is studying the effect of cutting speed on the rate of metal removal in a machining
operation. However, the rate of metal removal is also related to the hardness of the test specimen. Five
observations are taken at each cutting speed. The amount of metal removed (y) and the hardness of the
specimen (x) are shown in the following table. Analyze the data using and analysis of covariance. Use
