Each of the two variables is varied at four levels


After the test, ANOVA will NOT be able to detect ternary interaction effects between the variables
None of the above

Yes, the answer is correct.

In a statistical design of experiments study, the effects of two factors A and B were analysed at two
levels. It was found that when A was changed from its low to high 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 response was a decrease of 10 units. This means that

there is no interaction between A and B


A interacts with B but B does not interact with A
B interacts with A but A does not interact with B
there is negative interaction between factors A and B

Yes, the answer is correct.


Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
there is negative interaction between factors A and B

In hypothesis testing,

wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis is a more serious mistake than wrongly accepting it
wrongly accepting the null hypothesis is a more serious mistake than wrongly rejecting it
wrongly accepting a null hypothesis is equivalent to accepting the alternate hypothesis
correctly accepting the null hypothesis means that the alternate hypothesis is incorrectly rejected

Yes, the answer is correct.


Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis is a more serious mistake than wrongly accepting it

In an one-tailed hypothesis test, with the level of significance α is set to 0.05. In order for a particular
effect to be significant, the p-value of the test should be

exactly 0.05
above 0.05
below 0.05
exactly 0.025

Yes, the answer is correct.


Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
below 0.05

When data are fitted to a model then increasing number of model parameters is penalized by the

R2 criterion
adjusted R2 criterion
Sum of squares of the residuals
Sum of absolute residuals

Yes, the answer is correct.

In a typical central composite design, the repeats are performed

to obtain an estimate of the random experimental error


at the centre of the experimental design space
to help in identifying model curvature
All of the above

Yes, the answer is correct.


Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
All of the above

1 point
In a central composite design, involving two factors A and B, the response surface is described by a
quadratic model. If the effect of interaction between A and B is only absent, the relevant significant effects are from

A only
A and B only
A, B, A2 and B2
A, B, A2, B2, A3 and B3

Yes, the answer is correct.


Score: 1
