When there are several control variables, the system or process is likely to be
driven primarily by some of the main effects and lower-order interactions. This idea is referred to
as:
The blocking principal
The projection property
The sparsity of effects principle
Hierarchy principal
No, the answer is incorrect.

In a Resolution IV fractional factorial design,
Main effects are generally aliased with three-factor interactions.
Main effects are aliased with two-factor interactions.
Main effects are confounded with each other.
All of the above statements are true.
No, the answer is incorrect.

The fundamental concept of the phrase “Block if you can, randomize if you can’t.”
means that:
It is usually better to randomize within blocks.
If you cannot block the nuisance variable, this will violate the assumption of constant
variance.
Create blocks if the nuisance factor is known and controllable, and randomize
experiments if the nuisance factor is unknown.
Randomize the runs when you block a controllable factor
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Create blocks if the nuisance factor is known and controllable, and randomize experiments if
the nuisance factor is unknown.
It is possible to combine two or more fractional factorials to assemble a large design
sequentially to estimate the factor effects and interactions of interest. This is referred as,
The projection property
Sequential experimentation
The sparsity of effects principle
Design resolution
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
