Exercise 1
A manufacturer of package cake mixes must determine the
recommended baking time and temperature to print on the
box. They want to find the factor settings that result in a
mean moisture content of 26%±1%.
Dataset: Cake.MTW

Exercise 1: Instruction
1. Create a full FD with 2 factors, time and temperature.
Replicate the design twice.
2. Open the Project Cake.MTW, which contains the response
data
3. Fit an appropriate model to the data
4. Check the model assumptions using residual plots
5. Create factorial plots and use the Response Optimizer to
determine the best settings for time and temperature to
obtain the target moisture content of 26%, with a lower limit
of 25% and upper limit of 27%.
Exercise 2 (Optional)
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 are as follow:
Pressure
