Carboco puts metal coatings on jet propeller blades. The
harder the coating, the higher the quality of the coating. The
coating is shot onto the blade using pressurized gas
contained in an F-gun. Carboco can control the temperature
and gas pressure in the F-gun and can also control the room
humidity. To see how gas pressure, temperature, and
humidity influence hardness, Carboco engineers have run a
regression for which the dependent variable is
HARD hardness of a coating
and the independent variables are
HUMIDI room humidity
TEMP 1 if temperature level is high
0 if temperature level is low
PRESS 1 if gas pressure is high
0 if gas pressure is low
T*P product of TEMP and PRESS
We assume that temperature and gas pressure have only two
possible levels, low and high. The relevant data are given in
Table 30 (file Temp.xls).
a Ignoring considerations of heteroscedasticity, multi-
collinearity, and autocorrelation, which equation should
be used to predict hardness? Explain.
b What combination of gas pressure and temperature
setting will maximize hardness?
c Explain how changing temperature from a low level
to a high level affects hardness. Be specific!
