REPLICATION
Also called a Factorial Experiment.
Replication means an independent repeat of each factor
combination.
The purpose of factorial experiment is to examine:
2. Factor B effect:
3. Interaction effect:
The results obtained in this analysis are
summarized in the following ANOVA table:

Example 3.3:
The two-way table gives data for a 2x2 factorial experiment with two
observations per factor – level combination.
Factor B
Level 1 2
Construct the ANOVA table for this experiment and do a complete analysis
at a level of significance 0.05.
Solution:
Factor B
Level 1 2
Factor A 1 29.6 47.3
35.2 42.1 154.2
64.8 89.4
2 12.9 28.4 81.6
17.6 22.7
30.5 51.1
95.3 140.5 235.8
Solution:
1. Set up hypothesis
Factor A effect:
H 0 : 1 2 a 0
H1: at least one i 0
Factor B effect:
H 0 : 1 2 b 0
H1: at least one j 0
