A multinational firm manufactures several types of 1280 × 1024 CRT displays in several locations. They
designed a sampling experiment to analyze the number of pixels per screen that have significant color
degradation after 52,560 hours (6 years of continuous use) using accelerated life testing. The Excel
ANOVA table for their experiment is shown below. Some table entries have been obscured. The
response variable (Y) is the number of degraded pixels in a given display.
