I = ABD, I = ACE and I = BCF

b) Based on the normal probability plot only factors D and F appear to
be influential.

c)In this case F, C and E appear to be influential

d)Since only four factors appear to be influential from the normal

probability plots: C, D, E and F, the engenier should run a 24-1 design
with these factors.
