1. (2.5 points) The percentage of hardwood concentration in raw pulp, the vat pressure, and the cooking time of the pulp are being investigated for their effects on the strength of paper. Three levels of hardwood concentration, three levels of pressure, and two cooking times are selected. A factorial experiment with two replicates is conducted, and the following data are obtained Percentage of Hardwood Concentration Cooking Time 3.0 Hours Cooking Time 4.0 Hours Pressure Pressure 400 196.6 196 500 197.7 196 650 199.8 199.4 400 198.4 198.6 650 200.6 200.9 500 199.6 200.4 198.5 196 198.4 197.5 198.7 199.6 197.2 196.9 197.6 198.1 198 199 197.5 195.6 197.4 197.6 197 198.5 196.6 196.2 198.1 198.4 197.8 199.8 (a) Analyze the data and draw conclusions. Use α-0.05 (b) Prepare appropriate residual plots and comment on the model's adequacy (c) Under what set of conditions would you run the process? Why?
