• Question 91:

  A Belt working in a supply chain environment has to make a decision to change suppliers of critical raw materials for a new product upgrade. The purchasing manager is depending on the Belt's effort requiring that the average cost of an internal critical raw material component be less than or equal to $2,800 in order to stay within budget. Using a sample of 55 first article components, a Mean of the new product upgrade price of $2,240 and a Standard Deviation of $120 was estimated.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 98:

• Question 99:

  If an experiment has 5 factors and no replicates for a 2-level Experimental Design with 16 experimental runs which statement is incorrect?

  A. The Experimental Design is half-fractional

  B. The Main Effects are confounded with only 4-way interactions

  C. The Main Effects for the 5 factors are not aliased or confounded but the 2-way interactions are confounded with the 3-way interactions

  D. The experiment has 8 experimental runs with the first factor at the high level

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 100:

  What conclusion is most correct about the Experimental Design shown here with the response in the far right column?

  

  A. No factor has enough statistical confidence greater than 95% to have an impact on the response rate

  B. Constant, Adv and Bev are the only factors statistically affecting the response rate with 95% confidence or more

  C. If the Adv is increased from the low level to the high level, the response rate increases

  D. The response level is statistically concluded to only need the Adv and Bev factors set at the low level to get the largest response rate

  E. This design does not have enough experimental runs to conclude anything as evidenced by the lack of P-values in the MINITABTM output

  Correct Answer: D
