The article “Factorial Design for Column Rotation of Phosphate Wastes” (N. Abdel-Khalek, Particulate Science and Technology, 2000:57–70) describes a 23 factorial design to investigate the effect of superficial air velocity (A), frothier concentration (B), and superficial wash water velocity (C) on the percent recovery of P2O5. There were two replicates. The data are presented in the following table.
- a. Compute estimates of the main effects and interactions, along with their sums of squares and P-values.

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? (c) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. (d)…

- The article “Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails” (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219. For a helically threaded nail under the same conditions, the strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.47 and σ = 0.272. a) What is the mean withdrawal strength for annularly threaded nails? b) What is the mean withdrawal strength for helically threaded nails? c) For which type of nail is it more probable that the withdrawal strength will be greater than 50 N/mm? d) What is the probability that a helically threaded nail will have a greater withdrawal strength than the median for annularly threaded nails? e) An experiment is performed in which withdrawal…arrow_forwardA U.S. Food Survey showed that Americans routinely eat beef in their diet. Suppose that in a study of 49 consumers in Illinois and 64 consumers in Texas the following results were obtained from two samples regarding average yearly beef consumption: Illinois Texas = 49 = 64 = 54.1lb = 60.4lb S1 = 7.0 S2 = 8.0 Formulate a hypothesis so that, if the null hypothesis is rejected, we can conclude that the average amount of beef eaten annually by consumers in Illinois is significantly less than that eaten by consumers in Texas.arrow_forward27. An article in Radio Engineering and Electronic Physics (1980, Vol. 25, pp. 74-79) investigated the behavior of a stochastic generator in the presence of external noise. The number of periods was measured in a sample of 100 trains for each of two different levels of noise voltage, 100 and 150 mV. For 100 mV, the mean number of periods in a train was 7.9 with s1 = 2.6. For 150 mV, the mean was 6.9 with s2 = 2.4. Use α = 0.01 and assume that each population is normally distributed and the two population variances are equal. (a) It was originally suspected that raising noise voltage would reduce mean number of periods. Do the data support this claim? (b) Calculate a confidence interval to answer the question in part (a).arrow_forward
