1. An article in Technometrics [“Exact Analysis of Means with Unequal Variances” (2002, Vol. 44, pp. 152–160)]
described the technique of the analysis of means (ANOM) and presented the results of an experiment on
insulation. Four insulation types were tested at three different temperatures. The data are as follows:

(a) Write a model for this experiment. (b) Test the appropriate hypotheses and draw conclusions using the
analysis of variance with α =0.05 (c) Graphically analyze the interaction. (d) Analyze the residuals from the
experiment. (e) Use Fisher’s LSD method to investigate the differences between mean effects of insulation
type. Use α = 0.005
2. Johnson and Leone (Statistics and Experimental Design in Engineering and the Physical Sciences, John Wiley,
1977) described an experiment conducted to investigate warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were
temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable is the amount of warping. The data
are as follows:

(a) Is there any indication that either factor affects the amount of warping? Is there any interaction
between the factors? Use α =0.05. (b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. (c) Plot the average
warping at each level of copper content and compare the levels using Fisher’s LSD method. Describe the
differences in the effects of the different levels of copper content on warping. If low warping is desirable,
what level of copper content would you specify? (d) Suppose that temperature cannot be easily controlled
in the environment in which the copper plates are to be used. Does this change your answer for part (c)?

3. An article in the Journal of Testing and Evaluation (1988, Vol. 16, pp. 508–515) investigated the effects of cyclic
loading frequency and environment conditions on fatigue crack growth at a constant 22 MPa stress for a
particular material. The data follow. The response variable is fatigue crack growth rate.

(a) Is there indication that either factor affects crack growth rate? Is there any indication of interaction? Use α
=0.05. (b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. (c) Repeat the analysis in part (a) using ln(y) y as the
response. Analyze the residuals from this new response variable and comment on the results.
4. In the book Design and Analysis of Experiments, 8th edition (2012, John Wiley & Sons), the results of an
experiment involving a storage battery used in the launching mechanism of a shoulder-fired ground-to-air
missile were presented. Three material types can be used to make the battery plates. The objective is to design
a battery that is relatively unaffected by the ambient temperature. The output response from the battery is
effective life in hours. Three temperature levels are selected, and a factorial experiment with four replicates is
run. The data are as follows:

(a) Test the appropriate hypotheses and draw conclusions using the analysis of variance with α =0.05. (b)
Graphically analyze the interaction. (c) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.
