Duty ANOVA

Exercise 4

Paint manufacturing tests were carried out using different proportions of Emulsifier(Factor A) and Drying
Agent(Factor B) and it is desired to know if there is any influence on the drying time of the paint. Three
samples were analyzed for each combination. The results were:

Percentage of Emulsifier
Dryer 5 10 15 20 25
12 8 14 7 9
5 11 5 21 18 12
10 2 5 8 9

6 1 21 12 14
8 4 15 12 10
15 12 6 21 9 15
16 2 15 18 22

Determine whether these factors are significant (or which of them are significant) to the drying time of
the paint.

time of the paint.

Exercise 5

In reviewing the conditions of the previous experiment, it was found that the different replicates were
conducted on different days of the week (i.e., at different environmental conditions). The results were
regrouped and the following table was obtained:

affect it.

Exercise 6

In a soldering process, five different fluxes are used at three different temperatures each and it is
desired to determine if these factors have an influence on the solder strength (measured in kilograms).
For each combination, three replicates were performed and the observed results were as follows:

Exercise 7

In a pharmaceutical laboratory, an experiment is carried out to determine the optimum speed of the
three critical processes, with the aim of obtaining the lowest possible proportion of broken ampoules.
The results obtained were as follows
