A quick note about this quiz in general: it is a tough one. Take your time (there is no time limit), write out R
codes, sketches and analyses by hand and rewatch/reread some of the course content. This is an important
topic to master for practical real-world experimentation. We have written detailed help in the quiz solutions,
so please take a second or third time to truly master and understand the concepts. Good luck!

Je , a baker at a bakery shop is helping his manager prepare for their grand opening bake sale. He has been
instructed to optimize the taste of the chocolate chip cookies on a scale from 1 to 10, with level 10 being the
best tasting, judged by his boss and a panel of testers.

Je has only 4 hours each day to conduct experiments on the bakery's chocolate chip cookie recipe. There are
just 2 days until the opening, so he doesn't have that much time.

After practicing the recipe he can successfully make a batch of cookies in 1 hour. Je has considered the
following factors that he might use in his experiment.

A = Baking temperature: low level was 250°C, and high level was 275°C.

B = Number of minutes he stirs the dough for: low level was 3 minutes, and high level was 5 minutes.

C = Mass of chocolate chips per batch: low level was 200 grams, and high level was 250 grams.

D = Baking duration: low level was 15 minutes, and high level was 20 minutes.

E = Type of flour: low level was All-purpose flour, and high level was Cake flour

Select all correct statements below.

If Je considers using only 4 factors then he has time to run a half fraction factorial experiment,
where he can confound a main e ect with a three factor interaction e ect, such as: D = ABC

Correcto 
Je can run at most 8 experiments in the remaining time: 8 = 2

If Je considers just 2 factors then he can run the experimental design twice.

Correcto

She considered the following factors for her experiment:

T = Temperature: low level was 31°C, and high level was 37°C.

S = Sugar: low level was 5kg, and high level was 7kg

C = Amount of live yogurt culture: low level was 400g, and high level was 450g.

She only has enough money in her budget, to run 4 experiments. Knowing this, she decides to run a fractional
factorial experiment by hastily making the main e ect C an alias for interaction e ect TS.

After conducting her experiments and analyzing the data she comes up with the following Pareto plot:

What conclusions can Parvin make about the process? Select all correct options below

Factor C can be removed - it's not important - so the experiment collapses to a 2-factor full factorial
experiment in factors T and S.

Parvin concludes that the main e ect factor C , which happens to be aliased with TS, is the largest
e ect. And further, it appears that factors T and S are both large, and cannot be ignored.

Correct - this can be observed from the Pareto plot. Because the aliasing in this case was not optimally
assigned, a full factorial will be needed to interpret the results.

The three factor interaction TSC e ect is confounded with factor C .

She can conclude that the main e ect T can be neglected, because it is not as signi cant as factor C

Aditi, an EFI student, wants to understand the e ects related to the preparation of uncooked, breaded
chicken strips. She wants to investigate several factors with the objective of maximize the taste of her cooked
chicken strips. Her outcome variable is a quanti ed taste level (1 to 10, 10 being the best tasting chicken strip).
She identi ed 3 factors in her design:

D = Cooking duration: low level was 15 minutes, and high level was 22 minutes.

R = Position of oven rack: low level = middle rack, and high level = low oven rack (The coding here was done
intentionally, because the lower rack of the oven applies more heat than the middle).

P = Preheating of oven: low level was preheat for 30 seconds, and high level was a complete preheat to the
desired final temperature

The DP and RP interaction terms were found to be insigni cant (zero).

Now assume that Aditi only had enough time to do 4 experiments.

Using the example above, select all correct responses.

The e ect of P in the half-fraction factorial run didn't remain the same because it was aliased with
a relevant interaction factor DR. This is seen by comparing the full factorial model with the half-
fraction model.

Correcto 
We can observe from the predictive model that the two-factor interaction DR is not zero, so it will
confound the e ect of factor P.

The e ect of D in the half-fraction factorial remains the same because it is aliased with an irrelevant
factor RP. This is seen by comparing the full factorial model with the half-fraction model.

Correcto 
This is correct; in the question text we are told that RP is zero.

The e ect of R in the half-fraction factorial run remains the same because it is aliased with a small
factor DP. This is seen by comparing the full factorial model with the half-fraction model.

Correcto 
This is correct; in the question text we are told that DP is zero.

If Aditi only had enough time to do 4 experiments, the fractional factorial table that she would get,

Cuestionario, 10 questions

D = Cooking duration: low level was 15 minutes, and high level was 25 minutes.

T = Oven temperature: low level = 350°C, and high level = 375°C

N = Number of chocolate chips: low level was 30 per batch, and high level 40 per batch.

She then created the following experimental table for her full factorial:

Experiment D T N

6 25(+) 350(−) 40(+)

7 15(−) 375(+) 40(+)

8 25(+) 375(+) 40(+)

However, Jennifer has a problem. In order to run all 8 experiments in her allotted time frame, she will need to
conduct all of her experiments in the same day. How should she randomize her experiments to eliminate any
disturbances (known or unknown) that occur during the day?

Select one of the following options, which best illustrates the order in which Jennifer should conduct her
experiments.

Since Jennifer is running all of the experiments in the same day, there may be uncontrollable variables
that a ect the outcome like fatigue. Fatigue might cause her to not stir the cookie mixture as well or
make mistakes in the recipe. She must randomize her experiments to ensure that any disturbances
are not confounded with any of the factors.

Continuing from the previous question (Question 4), Jennifer now has a new problem: in addition to when to
conduct her experiments, her attempt to expedite her process introduces another variable.

In order for her to conduct her experiments at a faster pace, she needs to use two di erent mixing bowls, a
glass one and a wooden one. She cannot measure the e ects of this variable, so she is going to use blocking
to remove any confounding e ects the di erent bowls might have. In other words she has considered this
variable a nuisance variable.

Select one of the following options: which is the best choice to confound the mixing bowl variable, using
blocking?

She should confound the mixing bowl variable with the interaction factor DTN

Like Gatei in Question 6, Robert is trying to explore di erent factors in the pursuit of maximizing his car's fuel
economy or miles per gallon (MPG) for his commute to work. However, he decides to investigate some
di erent factors from Gatei.

In order to do this he will conduct experiments, using a factorial DOE method, where he will commute to and
from work, and manipulate several controlled variables. He has considered the following factors:

A = Tire pressure: low level was 30psig, and high level was 35psig.

B = Air conditioning: low level was off, and high level was on.

C = Route to work: low level was City route, and high level was Highway route.

D = Cargo: low level was 75kg, and high level was 100kg.

Due to time constraints, Robert was only able to conduct 8 experiments. Therefore he ran a randomized half-
fraction factorial experiment: 24−1=8, using the generator: D=ABC. Yielding the following results, reported in a
standard order table:

y = Miles Per Gallon

To investigate this he has considered several factors:

R = Number of rides that are open: low level was 18, and high level was 24.

F = Advertising predominantly focusses healthier options (−), and less healthy fried carnival foods (+).

P = Number of employees hired for each ride: low level was 10 employees, and the high level was 13
employees.

Jordan is only able to conduct 4 experiments, due to the amount of money and time each one will take to
conduct. Therefore, Jordan conducted a half-fraction factorial experiment, using the generator: P = RF.

He conducted the following experiments in random order, over 4 weeks, and reported the results in a
standard order table:

Experiment R F P y = Profit (millions)

The material that Emil is experimenting comes in a xed quantity. He estimates that there will only be enough
material for about 4 experiments before the material runs out. Then he can switch to a second supplier's
material. The choice of supplier material is expected to a ect the conversion, but no one seems to be able to
tell him how.

Given all of this information, Emil vaguely remembers the terms of blocking, nuisance factors, disturbances,
and covariates.

Select all options below that are correct:

Emil's manager has said that he is not interested in e ect of the raw material, on the reactor's
conversion. The raw material is determined by the supplier of the material.

Since the suppliers of the material are not always consistent, and the company is obligated to use
whatever they receive, Emil should consider the raw material as a nuisance variable.

Therefore, he must use blocking to help negate the e ect of this nuisance variable of the raw
material going into the reactor.

He can block using the sign of the FTS terms to determine if the experiments should be run with
the rst (FTS = −1) or second (FTS = +1) supplier.

You may use the R code below gives the half-fraction, complementary half fraction and full factorial
for this system. You will need to uncomment (remove the # symbol) from the lines you would like to
run.

Since the suppliers of the material are not always consistent, and the company is obligated to use
whatever they receive, Emil should consider the raw material as a disturbance.

Your advice to Emil would be to randomize, so that you can counteract disturbances.

Just as Emil starts his experiments, he learns that the person that will actually implement the
experiments (called "the operator") will go on vacation in a few days.

The operator going on vacation will do the rst four experiments, while the new, temporary
operator will do the last four experiments.

Emil has already blocked his experiments for the material supplier 1 and 2. But this new issue with
the operator should make Emil concerned that his experiments will be confounded. True (click the
checkbox), or not true?

Hiro, a competitive swimmer, is trying to optimize his training habits with the goal of minimizing his race time in the 400 meter
individual medley. In order to do this he will conduct experiments, using a factorial DOE method, where he will conduct di erent
training sessions, while manipulating several factors that he has identi ed.

He has considered the following 6 factors:

A = Stretching time: low level was 5 minutes, and high level was 10 minutes.

B = Amount of water drank prior to training: low level was 400ml, and high level was 500ml.

C = Warm up swim distance: low level was 500 meters, and high level was 700 meters.

D = Protein bar eaten prior to practice: low level was not eaten, and high level was eaten.

F = Type of swimming suit: low level was only swimming trunks, and high level was full body swimming suit.

Due to time constraints, Hiro was only able to conduct 8 experiments. Therefore he ran a randomized eight-fraction factorial
experiment: 26−3 = 8 , using the generator: D = AB, E = AC, F = BC . Yielding the following results, reported in a standard
order table:

C= y = Time
A= E=
