ANOVA 1 Way
Question 1
• An engineer is interested in determining the • The higher W = higher RM
Radio Frequency power setting affects the
etch rate. • Must run cost effectively
• She ran a completely randomised experiment
with four level of RF power and five
replicates.
ANOVA 1 Way
Question 2
ANOVA 1 Way
Question 3
An article in the ACI Materials Journal (Vol. 84, 1987. pp. 213-216) describes several
experiments investigating the rodding of concrete to remove entrapped air. A 3” x 6” cylinder
was used, and the number of times this rod was used is the design variable. The resulting
compressive strength of the concrete specimen is the response. The data are shown in the
following table.
Is there any difference in compressive strength due to the rodding level?
SSA
SSB
ANOVA 2 Way
Question 1
The following output was obtained from a computer program that performed a two-factor
ANOVA on a factorial experiment.
A 1 ? 0.0002 ?
B ? 180.378 ? ?
Interaction 3 8.479 ? ?
Error 8 158.7958 ?
Total 15 347.653
ANOVA 2 Way
Question 2
• The yield of a chemical process is being studied. The two most important variables
are thought to be the pressure and the temperature. Three levels of each factor are
selected, and a factorial experiment with two replicates is performed. The yield data
follow:
• Analyse the data and draw conclusions. Use the appropriate significant level.
