The variance of the residual is not constant

7) In a two-factor design of experiment, when interaction effect are significant, 1 point

interaction plots can be used to determine optimal setting.

interaction plots do not have any role to determine optimal setting.
Main effect plot is sufficient to determine optimal setting
Optimal process setting cannot be determined.
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
interaction plots can be used to determine optimal setting.
