The analysis of variance table shows that factors, Glass Type A and Temperature B are
significant, as well as interaction AB. B2 and AB2 interaction terms are also significant. The
interaction and pure quadratic terms are shown in the plot shown below. For glass types 1
and 2 the temperature is mostly linear, for glass type 3, there is a quadratic effect.

Shown in the analysis of variance table, no factors seem to be important. Factor B is

somewhat significant showing an F-value of 4.31.
