Question
An engineer suspects that the surface finish of a metal part is influenced by the depth of cut (factor A) and the feed rate (factor B). She selects four depths of cut and three feed rates. She then conducts a factorial experiment and obtains the following data: (i=1,2,3,4 for Depth = 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, and 0.25, respectively; j=1,2,3 for Feed = 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30, respectively)
a) What is the total value of Y, the response, for the cell i=3, and j=2
b) What is the mean of Y for the cell (i=4, j=3)
Explanation / Answer
answer a)cell i=3(depth=0.2) and j=2 (feed=0.25) total value of Y is 99+108+95=302
answer b) for cell i=4 (depth=0.25) and j=3 (feed=0.3) the mean of Y=(114+111+107)/3=332/3=110.67
