1. Nuisance effects can be known or unknown. If they are known, what are the ways you can deal with them?
What happens if they are unknown?
2. If you have an uncontrollable nuisance variable that you suspect affects the response variable, what kind of analysis should you do?
What happens if you don’t do this type of analysis?
3. We are testing 3 different types of glue for tensile strength when joining parts together. But the tensile strength is also affected by the thickness of the glue applied. Our data are:
(a) What kind of analysis should you do? (b) Explain what role each of the following plays
in the design: - glue type - tensile strength - glue thickness

4. The surface finish on parts made by 3 machines is being studied. Each machine has three operators, and each operator tests two specimens. Because the machines are in different locations, different operators are used for each machine. The data are:

5. An experiment is performed to test the effect of temperature (2 levels) and heating time (3 levels) on the strength of steel. During the experiment, the oven is heated to one of the two temperatures and 3 specimens are placed in the oven. After 10 minutes, one specimen is removed. After 20 minutes, a second specimen is removed. After 30 minutes, the third specimen is removed. Then the temperature is changed to the other level and the process is repeated. Three shifts were used to collect the data, shown in the next slide.
(a) What kind of experiment is this? Why? (b) What role does each of the following
variables play in this design: shift temperature time (c) Which variables can you test for significance?

6. Four different feed rates were studied in a test of a machine to produce parts for aircraft. From prior experience, the engineer has learned that changing the feed rate will not change the average dimension of the parts, but it might change the variability. He makes 4 production runs at each of 4 feed rates, measures the standard deviation, and these are his data.
What must he do to analyze these data? Why?

15. A textile mill has a problem. The strength of the cloth produced has too much variability. They wonder if it’s due mostly to the looms or to the operators, so they decide to study it. From the large number of looms they have, 3 looms are chosen randomly. Also 3 operators are chosen at random from all the operators in the plant. 3 replicates are run for each combination of loom and operator. The ANOVA table is

16. Four factors are to be used in a manufacturing process for integrated circuits to improve yield.
A is aperture setting (small, large), B is exposure time (20 sec, 30 sec), C is development time (30 sec, 45 sec), D is mask dimension (small, large). You are the statistical consultant for the firm
and you are asked to design the experiment. You’d better do it or the boss will be angry and you know what that means.
What kind of design did you create?
