The article “Efficient Pyruvate Production by a Multi-Vitamin Auxotroph of Torulopsis glabrata: Key Role and Optimization of Vitamin Levels” (Y. Li. J. Chen, ct al. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 200l:680–685) investigates the effects of the levels of several vitamins in a cell culture on the yield (in g/L) of pyruvate, a useful organic acid. The data in the following table are presented as two replicates of a 23 design. The factors are A: nicotinic acid. B: thiamine, and C: biotin. (Two statistically insignificant factors have been dropped. In the article, each factor was tested at four levels: we have collapsed these to two.)
- a. Compute estimates of the main effects and interactions, and the sum of squares and P-value for each.
- b. Is the additive model appropriate?

b.
Check whether the additive model is appropriate.
Answer to Problem 4E
Yes, the additive model is appropriate .
Explanation of Solution
Justification:
Principle rule to hold an additive model:
The additive model is acceptable when the interactions are small.
Hence the additive model is appropriate but interaction effect obtained in previous part (a) does not provide significant results.

Decision:

If
Conclusion:
Factor A:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is no significant difference between the means of two levels in main effect A at
Factor B:
Here, the P-value is less than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is significant difference between the means of two levels in main effect B at
Factor C:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is no significant difference between the means of two levels in main effect C at
Interaction AB:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the interaction AB is not significant at
Interaction AC:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the interaction AC is not significant at
Interaction BC:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the interaction BC is not significant at
Interaction ABC:
Here, the P-value is greater than the level of significance.
That is,
By rejection rule, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the interaction ABC is not significant at
Hence the P-value of Factor B states that it has more effect on the yield than Factor A and Factor C.
