MANE 6313 - Design of Experiments

Homework Assignment 10

Assigned: April 7, 2025

Due: April 18, 2025

Work problem 3.11 from Montgomery, Peck and Vining1. When a decision or analysis is made, use \(\alpha= 0.05\) unless told to use another value. There is a library, MPV, in CRAN that contains the data values for the Montgomery, Peck and Vining textbook. Install MPV before starting homework 10. Instructions for using the MPV library are provided in this assignment.

  • Parts a- e as written,
  • Part f, perform a partial F-test for the full model and the reduced model found in part d,
  • Part g, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean when \(x_2=60\) and \(x_5=2.65\) (\(x_2\) is the variable temp and \(x_5\) is the variable particle size),
  • Part h, construct a 99% prediction interval when \(x_2=60\) and \(x_5=2.65\) (\(x_2\) is the variable temp and \(x_5\) is the variable particle size).

Using MPV Library

library('MPV')
data(table.b7)
attach(table.b7)
# full model
model.full <- lm(y~x1+x2+x3+x4+x5)
summary(model.full)
detach(table.b7)

Please upload your submission as a single PDF document to the Homework 10 Drop Box before the end of the day on April 10, 2024.
