Questions
Calculate the main and the interaction effects
Calculate the estimates for A, B, and AB
Write down the estimated regression equation
Calculate the Sum of Squares
Develop the ANOVA Table
Interpret the effects in the context of the problem
Which effects are likely to be significant based on the effect calculation? Why?
Solution
Solution
Effect of A = 7.5, B = 1.75, & AB = 1
Estimate of A = 3.75, B = 0.875, & AB = 0.5
Estimated regression Equation:
Sum of Square of A = 225, B = 12.25, & AB = 4
ANOVA table
6. The comfort level increases by 7.5 if the temperature increases from 0 to 75-degree Fahrenheit. The comfort level increases by 1.75 if the humidity increases from 0 to 35 percent. As compared to the low level, at the high level of the temperature, the comfort increases by 1 if the humidity increases from 0 to 35 %.
7. The effect is very large for the temperature factor as compare to the main effect of humidity and the interaction effect. Therefore, the temperature factor is likely to be significant. As the experimental error is small as compare to the main and the interaction effects, results in high f-value. Therefore, both the main effects of A and B and the interaction could be significant too.
