[This topic was suggested by Devon. Thanks!]
A short distance runner is training for a 200m race. She is practicing

regularly: sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening. She
decides to use one type of shoe with spikes and another type without
spikes. And when she runs, she uses arm positions held high or held
lower down.
Select all the options below that are true.
The racer will run 6 (2+2+2) experiments if she does a full

factorial with no repetition (replicates)
Deseleccionado es lo correcto
Using shoes with spikes can be assigned "minus" and using

shoes with no spikes can be assigned as "plus" in the standard
order table.
Correcto
That's correct. Though the other way around can also be
assigned.
The measured outcome variable from the experiments would

be which type of shoe to use.
There seem to be 3 factors in her experiment, as described

above.

Consider the following two factor baking system:
A = Baking temperature (300°C or 350°C)
B = Mixing time (10 minutes or 20 minutes).
The experiments yielded the following data:
If you were to draw a cube plot, please predict in which direction the
system will most likely show improved taste. Recall the objective is to
maximize the outcome.

Correcto
This is correct.
Going from a sitting position to a standing position on the bike

decreases the time to the top of the mountain by 12 minutes,
on average.
Correcto
Right!
Going from a standing position to a sitting position on the bike

decreases the time to the top of the mountain by 12 minutes,
on average.
If factor B in the model was coded as −1 for sitting and coded

as +1 for standing, then we would see a term "−6.0xB " in the
prediction equation.
Correcto
That's correct; you can calculate this by hand. In a coming module
we show how to do this with computer.

Another EFI classmate, Antowan, is investigating spinach seed

germination. You can watch his video for background information, but it
Module 2 quiz is not required to answer this question. Of interest is how he has 9/9 points (100 %)
randomized the order of his experiments. He investigated several factors,
but we will only consider two below.
Imagine that Antowan's outcome variable was the percentage of seeds

that successfully germinated within a 5 day period. He calculated the
following prediction model
y = 65 + 5xW + 20xS + 10xW xS
from the data listed below.
Water Sunlight Percent

amount amount germinated
1 glass Low 50
2 glasses Low 40
1 glass High 70
2 glasses High 100
where
W = amount of water (1 shot glass, or 2 shot glasses)
S = the amount of sunlight (−1 is low amount of sunlight, and +1 is

full/high sunlight).
Please select the correct interaction plot below. Hint: rst create your
own interaction plot using the experimental data and compare with the
answers in the question.

As predicted in the lectures, the popcorn example strikes again! Suppose
we use the popcorn data, except there is one subtle di erence (inspect
closely!)
Factor A = cooking time, with low level of 160 seconds and high level of
200 seconds
Factor B = popcorn type with yellow corn coded as − (minus) and white
corn coded as + (plus)
The data here are the number of popped corns from each experiments:
Two hints and notes:
1. While considering the possible answers below, what do you notice is

diﬀerent from videos in this module?
2. While deriving the models below, practice including the interaction terms.
In this early videos of this module we ignored the interaction, because I
wanted to only focus on main eﬀects. But in a later video I showed how
to calculate interactions.
Now please select all options which are true.
The e ect of switching from yellow corn to white corn is to

reduce the number of popped kernels by 8, on average.
Correcto
Correct.
When using yellow corn, the predicted number of popped corn

at 180 seconds would be 63 kernels.
A prediction model would be: y = 67 + 10xA − 4xB + 1xA xB
Correcto
Yes! You should be able to calculate this by hand.

Cuestionario, 9 questions The e ect of switching from white corn to yellow corn is to
reduce the number of popped kernels by 8, on average.
When using yellow corn, the predicted number of popped corn

at 180 seconds would be 71 kernels.
Correcto
That is a correct interpretation.
A prediction model would be y = 67 + 10xA + 4xB − 1xA xB .

The following prediction model was built from a full-factorial experiment
in 2 factors, with 2 levels per factor:
y = 7 + 3 x_\text{A} - 4 x_\text{B} + 2 x_\text{A}x_\text{B}
The factors were:
Factor A = raw material supplier, where the low level = BASF; and the
high level is Dow Chemical Company
Factor B = melt temperature, with a low level of 320°C and high level of
340°C
and the y-value is the roughness of the plastic surface made from the
plastic. Your company is making glossy covers for a hi-tech consumer
product (e.g. imagine a cover for a cell phone) and is aiming to minimize
the surface roughness.
What is the predicted roughness when using the raw material from BASF
with a melt temperature of 330°C? Your answer must be a single numeric
value, with no decimals.

Note that the coding is x_\text{A}=-1 and that x_\text{B}=0.
\begin{align*}\hat{y} &= 7 + 3 x_A - 4 x_B + 2 x_Ax_B\\\hat{y} &= 7

+ 3 (-1) - 4 (0) + 2(-1)(0)\\ \hat{y}&= 7 - 3 = 4 \end{align*}

Suppose a group of students have designed a 2-factor DOE to investigate

optimizing plant growth using pea seeds.
They have decided to investigate the following factors:
Factor A = Amount of soil, with low level of 200 grams and high level of
400 grams
Factor B = Amount of water added daily, with low level of 50 mL and high
level of 100 mL
The students collected the following data with the height of the plant
after 14 days [in cm] being the outcome variable:
Then after analyzing the data the students determined the following
prediction model:
\[y = 5.75 + 0.75 x_\text{A} + 1.25 x_\text{B} + 0.25 x_\text{A} x_\text{B}\]
Predict the height of the plant when using 300 grams of soil and 75mL of
water.
Some hints:
Draw a cube plot of the system and mark the point in the square where
you are making the prediction.
Do you see why this point is called the "baseline" now?
Superimpose contours on the square to check whether your answer is

reasonable.
$$\hat{y}=4$$
$$\hat{y}=5.75$$
Correcto
The coded value for $$x_\text{A} = 0$$, since 300 grams is
midway between 200 and 400 grams.
The coded value for $$x_\text{B} = 0$$, since 75 mL is midway

between 50 and 100 mL.
Substituting these two coded values into the equation gives

$$\hat{y} = 5.75 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 5.75$$
Notice that this is the intercept of the equation, which is one way
to interpret the meaning of the word "baseline": it is the point
exactly in the middle of the cube plot.
$$\hat{y}=0$$
$$\hat{y}=3.75$$

A company is struggling to improve the yield. Yield is the percentage of
raw product that is converted to a nal product. The yield should be
maximized, and the employee is trying to investigate two factors that
a ect the yield.
T = Temperature of the jacket: either 390°C or 410°C
D = Amount of additive: 0.5 kg or 1.25 kg.
(For background, please see Florian's video on YouTube, but it is not

required viewing).
The employee ran the experiments in random order and collected the
following data:
with the aim of developing the following prediction model: \[y = b_0 +
b_\text{T} x_\text{T} + b_\text{D} x_\text{D} + b_\text{TD}x_\text{T}
x_\text{D}\]
Determine the interaction factor coe cient; in other words, determine

the numeric value of $$b_\text{TD}$$. (Hint: re-watch lecture 2C if you
need help remembering how to calculate the interaction term.)

Module 2 quiz 1.5 9/9 points (100 %)

Correcto
$$y$$ change in T at high values of D: 89 - 81 = +8%
$$y$$ change in T at low values of D: 79 - 77 = +2%
The half di erence = $$\frac{8 - 2}{2} = 3$$
Report half this value as $$b_\text{TD}$$ = 1.5
$$y$$ change in D at high values of T: 89 - 79 = +10%
$$y$$ change in D at low values of T: 81 - 77 = +4%
The half di erence = $$\frac{10 - 4}{2} = 3$$
Report half this value as $$b_\text{TD}$$ = 1.5
or, for those of you that prefer the least squares model solution
from the
$$(\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{y}$$
equation: $$\frac{77-79-81+89}{4} = 1.5$$
