A metal casting process for the production of turbine blades was studies. Three factors were varied. They were A: the temperature of the metal. B: the temperature of the mold and C: the pour speed. The outcome was the thickness of the blades, in mm. The results are presented in the following table: a. Calculate the main effects and the interactions. i. Show the main effects and interaction charts b. What factors influence the thickness of the turbine blades? i. Show the Pareto Chart
