Question

Metal Bonding Experiment.

Authors: E. Del Castillo, D. C. Montgomery and D. R. McCarville (1996), “Modified desirability functions for multiple response optimisation. Journal of Quality Technology, 28, pp. 337-345.

The experiment below is on a melting bonding process and was designed to determine the effect of the flow rate, the flow temperature and the block temperature on the maximum temperature recorded at the middle of the weld.

QUESTION 4 Produce a probability plot for the residuals from the estimated simplified response surface model (based on 90% confidence intervals for the parameters of the full second order model). From this plot do you conclude that: The residuals have constant variance The residuals are clearly not normally distributed The residuals are independent of each other. The residuals have non constant variance None of the residuals are outliers. 0 The residuals are approximately normally distributed

Explanation / Answer

question 4 answer

the residuals are independen to each other

the residuals are not normally distributed

option c and b
