Chapter 9, Problem 21SE
The article “Factorial Experiments in the Optimization of Alkaline Wastewater Pretreatment” (M. Prisciandaro, A. Del Borghi, and F. Veglio, Industrial Engineering and Chemistry Research. 2002:5034–5041) presents the results of an experiment to investigate the effects of the concentrations of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the amount of black mud precipitate in the treatment of alkaline wastewater. There were three levels of each concentration, and two replicates of the experiment were made at each combination of levels. The results are presented in the following table (all measurements are in units of kg/m3).
| H2SO4 | CaC12 | Precipitate | |
| 110 | 15 | 100.2 | 98.2 |
| 110 | 30 | 175.8 | 176.2 |
| 110 | 45 | 216.5 | 206.0 |

Hernandez, L. Hernandez, et al.,Veterinary and Animal Science, 2017:4-9) reports that a sample of 210 juvenile rainbowtrout fed a diet fortified with equal amounts of the amino acids taurine and methionine for aperiod of 70 days had a mean weight gain of 313 percent with a standard deviation of 25, while 210 fish fed with a control diet had a mean weight gain of 233 percent with a standard deviation of 19. Units are percent. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in weight gain on the two diets.

- 1. In the book Design and Analysis of Experiments, 8th edition (2012, John Wiley & Sons), the results of an experiment involving a storage battery used in the launching mechanism of a shoulder-fired ground-to-air missile were presented. Three material types can be used to make the battery plates. The objective is to design a battery that is relatively unaffected by the ambient temperature. The output response from the battery is effective life in hours. Three temperature levels are selected, and a factorial experiment with four replicates is run. The data are as follows: Table 11.(a) Test the appropriate hypotheses and draw conclusions using the analysis ether either firing temperature or furnace position affects the baked density of a carbon anode. The data are as follows: Table 12.(a) State the hypotheses of interest. (b) Test the hypotheses in part (a) using the analysis of variance with a = 0.05. What are your conclusions?

(See D. Horsky and P. Swyngedouw, "Does it pay to change your company's name? A stock market perspective," Marketing Science v.6 pp. 320— 35, 1987.) Suppose that, to test the profitability of name changes in the more recent market (the past five years), we analyze the stock prices of a large sample of corporations shortly after they changed names, and we find that the mean relative increase in stock price was about 0.76%, with a standard deviation of 0.12%. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all companies that changed names during the past five years. Complete the following statements about the distribution of relative increases in stock price for all companies that changed names during the past five years.

- In the article “Bactericidal Properties of Flat Surfaces and Nanoparticles Derivatized with Alkylated Polyethylenimines” (J. Lin, S. Qiu, et al., Biotechnology Progress, 2002:1082– 1086), experiments were described in which alkylated polyethylenimines were attached to surfaces and to nanoparticles to make them bactericidal. In one series of experiments, the bactericidal efficiency against the bacterium E. coli was compared for a methylated versus a non-methylated polymer. The mean percentage of bacterial cells killed with the methylated polymer was 95 with a standard deviation of 1, and the mean percentage of bacterial cells killed with the nonmethylated polymer was 70 with a standard deviation of 6. Assume that five independent measurements were made on each type of polymer. Find a 95% confidence interval for the increase in bactericidal efficiency of the methylated polymer.arrow_forwardIn a study of a group of women science majors who remained in their profession and a group who left their profession within a few months of graduation, the researchers collected the data shown here on a self-esteem questionnaire.
