Question

An engineer is interested in the effect of cutting speed (A), metal hardness (B), and cutting
angle (C) on the life of a cutting tool. Two levels of each factor are chosen, and two
replicates of a 23 factorial design are run. The
tool life data (in hours) are shown in the
following table.
a) Compute the estimates of the effects and their
standard errors for this design.
b) Perform the analysis of variance using the tratio
c) Establish the regression model.
d) Perform the analysis of variance using the f-ratio.

ac 406 377 bc 605 500 abc 392 419

Explanation / Answer

•Main effects are estimated

A=1/4n [ a+ab+ac+abc-(1)-b-c-bc]

=1/8(325+435)+(552+472)+(406+377)+(392+419)-(221+311)- 354+348)-(440+453) (605+550)=146

•Sum of squares for A

SSSPEED =(146)2/16 = 1332
