The accompanying data resulted from an experiment to investigate whether yield from a certain chemical process depended either on the formulation of a particular input or on mixer speed.
A statistical computer package gave SS(Form) = 2253.44, SS(Speed) = 230.81, SS(Form*Speed) = 18.58, and SSE = 71.87.

a.
Identify whether there is a significant effect from interaction between speed and formulation.
Answer to Problem 18E
There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that there is an effect of interaction between mix speed and formulation on the chemical process.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
An experiment was carried out to test the effect of formulation and speed on the chemical press. The formulation has two levels and speed has three levels.
The sum of squares due to formulation is 2,253.44, sum of squares due to speed is 230.81, sum of squares due to error is 71.87, sum of squares due to interaction between formulation and speed is 18.58.
Calculation:
Testing the Hypothesis:
Null hypothesis:
That is, the interaction effect between mix speed and formulation has no significant effect on chemical process.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the interaction effect between mix speed and formulation has no significant effect on chemical process.
Test statistic:
Software procedure:
Step by step procedure to find the test statistic using Minitab is given below:
- Choose Stat > ANOVA > General Linear Model.
- In Responses, enter the column of Chemical process.
- In Model, enter the column of Speed, Formulation, Speed*Formulation.
- In Results, choose “Analysis of variance table”.
- Click OK in all dialog boxes.
Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:
Conclusion:
Interaction effect of AB:
The P- value for the interaction effect AB is 0.252 and the level of significance is 0.01.
The P- value is lesser than the level of significance.
That is,
Thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected,
Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that there is an effect of interaction between mix speed and formulation on the chemical process.
b.
Identify whether the yield of the chemical process depends on speed or formulation.
Answer to Problem 18E
The yield of a chemical process depends on both speed and formulation.
Explanation of Solution
From the MINITAB output obtained in part (a), the following can be observed.
For Main effect of factor A speed:
The P- value for the factor A (speed) is 0.000 and the level of significance is 0.01.
The P- value is lesser than the level of significance.
That is,.
Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected,
Hence, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is an effect of speed on the yield of chemical process.
For Main effect of factor B formulation:
The P- value for the factor B (formulation) is 0.000 and the level of significance is 0.01.
The P- value is lesser than the level of significance.
That is,
Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected,
Hence, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is an effect of formulation on the yield of chemical process.
c.

Construct a normal probability plot for the residuals obtained in part (d).
Identify whether the residuals are normally distributed.
Answer to Problem 18E
The normal probability of residuals is given below:
The residuals are normally distributed.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Normal probability plot of residuals:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to construct a normal probability plot of residuals is given below:
- Click on Graph>Probability plot>Single.
- Click OK.
- Under Graph variables, select the column containing the residual values.
- Click on Distribution and selection Normal.
- Click OK.
Interpretation:
The normal probability plot of residuals suggests that the residuals are normally distributed because the residuals fall approximately on a straight line.
