1 Chapter 4 and 5 solutions 4.4. Three different washing solutions are being compared to study their effectiveness in retarding bacteria growth in five gallon milk containers. The analysis is done in a laboratory, and only three trials can be run on any day. Because days could represent a potential source of variability, the experimenter decides to use a randomized block design. Observations are taken for four days, and the data are shown here. Analyze the data from this experiment (use α = 0.05) and draw conclusions.

A consumer products company relies on direct mail marketing pieces as a major component of its advertising campaigns. The company has three different designs for a new brochure and want to evaluate their effectiveness, as there are substantial differences in costs between the three designs. The company decides to test the three designs by mailing 5,000 samples of each to potential customers in four different regions of the country. Since there are known regional differences in the customer base, regions are considered as blocks. The number of responses to each mailing is shown below.

As a result, a square root transformation was applied as shown in the second ANOVA table. The residuals of both analysis are presented for comparison in part (c) of this problem. The analysis concludes that there is a difference between the mean number of responses for the three designs.

11 vs. Design Design 4.1. An aluminum master alloy manufacturer produces grain refiners in ingot form. The 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 furnaces as 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 as follows. Furnace Stirring Rate (a) Is there any evidence that stirring rate impacts grain size?

(b) Graph the residuals from this experiment on a normal probability plot. Interpret this plot. Normal plot of residuals 99 Normal % probability Residual The plot indicates that normality assumption is valid. (c) Plot the residuals versus furnace and stirring rate. Does this plot convey any useful information?

14 vs. Stirring Rate vs. Furnace Stirring Rate Furnace 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 is no effect due to the stirring rate 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 run requires approximately 1 1/ 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 α = 0.05) and draw conclusions. Day Batch A=8 B=7 D=1 C=7 E=3 C=11 E= A=7 D=3 B=8 3 B=4 A=9 C=10 E=1 D=5

The two most important variables are thought to be the pressure and the temperature. Three levels of each factor are selected, and a factorial experiment with two replicates is performed. The yield data follow: Pressure Temperature

In this case A, B are significant model terms.

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.

25 5.6. An article in Industrial Quality Control (1956, pp. 5 8) describes an experiment to investigate the effect of the type of glass and the type of phosphor on the brightness of a television tube. The response variable is the current necessary (in microamps) to obtain a specified brightness level. The data are as follows: Glass Phosphor Type Type (a) Is there any indication that either factor influences brightness? Use α = Both factors, phosphor type (A) and Glass type (B) influence brightness.

It is not serious enough to be of concern, however.

Johnson and Leone (Statistics and Experimental Design in Engineering and the Physical Sciences, Wiley 1977) describe an experiment to investigate the warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were the temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable was a measure of the amount of warping. The data were as follows: Copper Content (%) Temperature ( C)

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.

Since both factors in this problem are quantitative, we can fit polynomial effects of both speed and feed rate, exactly as in Example 5.5 in the text.
