Design of Analysis and Experiments 2 Marks 1.

Experiments in which all possible experimental combinations are used are termed as a. full factorial b. Factor c. Error d. Level 2.In an experiment involving two factors at three levels each, number of experimental combinations are a. 9 b. 6 c. 4 d. 2 3)In the Analysis of Variance table, the sum of squares a. is always positive b. is sometime negative c. can be positive or negative depending on the data d. is always negative 4) In an experiment two factors have three levels each. What will be the degrees of freedom for their joint or interaction affect? a. 6 b. 4 c. 3 d. 2 5) Which statement given below about levels of a control factor is incorrect: a. Number of levels for a control factor in an experiment can be 2 b. Number of levels for a control factor in an experiment can be 4 c. Number of levels for a control factor in an experiment can be 3 d. Number of levels for a control factor in an experiment can be 1 6) The most important activity in design of experiments is a. Conducting the experiment b. Planning for the experiment c. Analysis of variance d. Analyzing the experimental data 7)In ANOVA table, F stands for a. Few b. Fisher c. Fraction d. Factor

8) What does Taguchi mean by QUALITY? 9) In the Taguchi approach how is QUALITY measured? 10) which statistical terms do you affect when you improve quality and how? a. ( ) Move population MEAN closer to the TARGET. b. ( ) Reduce STANDARD DEVIATION c. ( ) Reduce variation around the target d. ( ) All of the above 10) What are the two data characteristics for achieving consistency of performance? 11) What is ANOVA? 12) What is a Latin Square? 13) Suppose you wish to compare the average class size of mathematics classes to the average class size of English classes in your high school. Which is the most appropriate technique for gathering the needed data? (A) Census (B) Sample survey (C) Experiment (D) Observational study (E) None of these methods is appropriate. 14) In a 1927 - 32 Western Electric Company study on the effect of lighting on worker productivity, productivity increased with each increase in lighting but then increased with every decrease in lighting. If it is assumed that the workers knew a study was in progress, this is an example of (A) the effect of a treatment unit. (B) the placebo effect. (C) the control group effect. (D) sampling error. (E) voluntary response bias. 15) In designing an experiment, blocking is used (A) to reduce bias. (B) to reduce variation. (C) as a substitute for a control group. (D) as a first step in randomization. (E) to control the level of the experiment. 5 Marks 1. 2. 3. 4. What do you understand by design of experiments (DOE) or experimental Design? Write the Steps involved in designing a study What are things to decide before collecting data and give example? What is S/N Ratio? Write the Calculation of the S/N ratio depends on the experimental objectives. 5. What are Orthogonal Arrays and its benefit?

10 Marks 1) What are the two basic methods for experiments and explain with proper example? 2) What is the difference between a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with example? 3) What is Taguchi Method Design of Experiment and Explain? 4)
