samples of the beverage are given to a test panel consisting of 20
people. Each tester assigns the beverage a point score from 1 to


  1. Total score is the response variable, and the objective is to find
    a formulation that maximizes total score. Two replicates of this
    design are run, and the results are shown in the table. Analyze the
    data and draw conclusions. Use 0.05 in the statistical tests.


(a) Analyze the data from this experiment.
(b) Find an appropriate regression model that explains tool
life in terms of the variables used in the experiment.
(c) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.
14-14. Four factors are thought to influence the taste of a soft-
drink beverage: type of sweetener (A), ratio of syrup to water (B),
carbonation level (C), and temperature (D). Each factor can be
run at two levels, producing a 2^4 design. At each run in the design,

14-13. 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 2^3 factorial design are run. The tool life data (in
hours) are shown in the following table:
