In designing an experiment, the researcher can often choose many different levels of the various factors in order to try to find the best combination at which to operate. As an illustration, suppose the researcher is studying a certain chemical reaction an can choose four levels of temperature, five different pressures, and two different catalysts

a- To consider all possible cam binations. How many experiments would need to be conducted?
b- Often in preliminary experimentation each factor is restricted to two levels. With the three factors noted. How many experiments would need to be ran to cover all possible combination with each of the three factors at two levels/ (Not’s, this is often called a 23 design)

(a) 40 combinations (b) 8 combinations  

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFINITIONS  

Multiplication principle If one event can occur in m ways AND a second event can occur in n ways, then the number of ways that the two events can occur in sequence is then m • n.  

SOLUTION  

(a)

Temperature: 4 ways

Pressure: 5 ways

Catalysts: 2 ways  

Use the multiplication principle:  

                                                 4*5*2 = 40  

(b)

Temperature: 2 ways

Pressure: 2 ways

Catalysts: 2 ways  

Use the multiplication principle:  

                                                  2*2*2=2^3 = 8  

(a) 40 combinations (b) 8 combinations  

its d but looking at that hurts my eyes frfr

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 80,000

step-by-step explanation:

the population doubles every day.

10,000*2=20,000 day 4

20,000*2=40,000 day 5

40,000*2=80,000 day 6
