None of the above

Week 3 - 5) In a statistical design of experiments study, the effects of two factors A and B were 1 point
Data analysed at two levels. It was found that when A was changed from its low to high
analysis and setting at the fixed lower level of B, the change in response was an increase of 10 units. Now when
A is changed from its low setting to high setting at the fixed higher level of B, the change in
Modelling
response was a decrease of 10 units. This means that

there is no interaction between A and B
Week 4: A interacts with B but B does not interact with A
Technical
B interacts with A but A does not interact with B
presentation
and writing () there is negative interaction between factors A and B

Week 5: 6) In hypothesis testing, 1 point

Creativity in

wrongly accepting the null hypothesis is a more serious mistake than wrongly rejecting it
Week 6- wrongly accepting a null hypothesis is equivalent to accepting the alternate hypothesis
