a)

A, B, C and the interaction between A:C and A:B:C appear to be large. b)

All 4 factors affect cracking plus there is an interaction between A:B, A:C and A:B:C. c) y = 11.98 + 1.51*A + 1.99*B 1.80*C + 0.98*D + 0.97*A*B 2.00 A*C + 1.57*A*B*C

d)

Residuals are normally distributed with normal variance. Assumpltions are met. f)

Recommendations: A, B and D at low levels while C at high level 6.17

b)

y = Intercept + constant*A constant*B constant*E

a)

Points A, B and C and the interaction between A:B appear to be large. h) 24 design. Factor E eliminated.

b)

23 design. Factor D eliminated.

c) yield = 30.53 + 5.91 * A +16.97 * B + 4.84 * C + 3.97 * A * B

d)

Yes, the plot looks satisfactory, residuals look normally distributed. e)Plot of the left panel on d correspond to residuals vs predicted. Residuals look normally distributed as a function of rpedicted values. As each of the variables A trough E varies from to + residuals look normally distributed as well.

f)A:B. Both factors A (aperture) and B (exposure time) contribute positively and together they reinforce or increase yield. g) A large, B 20% above nominal and C 45 s
