Consider the experiment in Problem 5-1. Fit an appropriate model to the response data. Use this model to provide guidance concerning operating conditions for the process.

Problem 5-1.

The yield of a chemical process is being studied. The two most important variables are thought to be the pressure and the temperature. Three levels of each factor are selected, and a factorial experiment with two replicates is performed. The yield data follow:
