(b) A soft-drinks bottler is interested in obtaining more uniform fill heights in the botbes Nojeanutacturing process. The filling machine theoretically fills each bottle to the correct large height but in practice there is variation around the target and the bottler would like to betler understand the sources of this variability and eventualy reduce it. The Engineer can control thee variables during the filling process (each at two leveis). These are Factor A: Carboriation with levels 10% and 20%, Factor B Operating Pressure in the filer with levels 1.7 and 20 Bar and Factor C: Line Speed with Levels 200 and 250 bottles per minutes. The response variable he chooses to measure is "Deviation (mm) from the target fill height". (1) Applying standard Yates Order in the sequence ofA B, & C, construct a full factorial design structure (array) for an experiment involving these three factors (A, B and C) each at two levels.
