23. Bonding Alloys An engineer ran an experiment to assess the breaking pressure of three bonding agents for an alloy material. Five batches of the alloy material were available for the experiment.

The three agents were used for bonding components of the alloy material from each of the five batches.

a. Identify the treatments and the blocks in this experiment and provide an appropriate analysis of variance.

b. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude there is a significant difference in the breaking pressure for the bonding agents? Use a 5.05.

c. Is there sufficient variation from batch to batch? Use the p-value to draw your conclusions. Was blocking effective?

d. Use Tukey’s pairwise comparisons with a 5.05 to determine which bonding agents differed from others.
Summarize your results.
