Question

Assuming no interactions, the main effects analysis of a one-half fractional factorial experiment compared to a comparable full factorial experiment yields which of the following outcomes?

a. Only the full factorial is accurate
b. The one-half factorial gives one-half of the final outcome
c. Both can be calculated but computer software is required
d. Both results are approximately the same

Answer 1

d. Both results are approximately the same

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is no interaction

One-half factorial will give half of the result of the experiment.

When there is a lack of resources, we also do the one-half factorial to complete the full factorial experiment.

Hence, both provide the approximately same outcomes of the experiment.
