The article “Change in Creep Behavior of Plexiform Bone with Phosphate Ion Treatment” (R. Regimbal, C. DePaula, and N. Guzelsu, Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering, 2003:11–25) describes an experiment to study the effects of saline and phosphate ion solutions on mechanical properties of plexiform bone. The following table presents the yield stress measurements for six specimens treated with cither saline (NaCl) or phosphate ion (Na2HPO4 ) solution, at a temperature of either 25°C or 37°C. (The article presents means and standard deviations only; the values in the table are consistent with these.)
- a. Estimate all main effects and interactions.
- b. Construct an ANOVA table. You may give
ranges for the P-values. - c. Is the additive model plausible? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
- d. Can the effect of solution (NaCl versus Na2HPO4) on yield stress be described by interpreting the main effects of solution? If so, interpret the main effects, including the appropriate test statistic and P-value. If not, explain why not.
- e. Can the effect of temperature on yield stress be described by interpreting the main effects of temperature? If so, interpret the main effects, including the appropriate test statistic and P-value. If not, explain why not.

- The depth of wetting of a soil is the depth to which water content will increase owing to extemal factors. The article "Discussion of Method for Evaluation of Depth of Wetting in Residential Areas" (J. Nelson, K. Chao, and D. Overton, Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2011:293-296) discusses the relationship between depth of wetting beneath a structure and the age of the structure. The article presents measurements of depth of wetting, in meters, and the ages, in years, of 21 houses, as shown in the following table.

- The article “Effect of Varying Solids Concentration and Organic Loading on the Performance of Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion Process” (S. Vandenburgh and T. Ellis, Water Environment Research, 2002:142–148) discusses experiments to determine the effect of the solids concentration on the performance of treatment methods for wastewater sludge. In the first experiment, the concentration of solids (in g/L) was 43.94 ± 1.18. In the second experiment, which was independent of the first, the concentration was 48.66 ± 1.76.
