Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of Design of Experiments (DOE)?

To ignore the impact of variables on outcomes
To efficiently explore the relationship between multiple variables and their impact on a particular outcome (correct)
To conduct experiments in a haphazard manner
To focus only on qualitative responses

What are the key components of Factorial Design in DOE?

Sequential variation of one factor at a time
Ignoring the impact of factors on the response variable
Testing only one factor at a time
Simultaneous variation of multiple factors, which are independent variables (correct)

What do levels represent in the context of DOE?

Different conditions or settings for factors (correct)
The range of a single factor's values
The response variables measured
The number of experiments conducted
