The effect of curing pressure on bond strength (in MPa) was tested for two different adhesives. There were three levels of curing pressure. Three replications were performed for each combination of curing pressure and adhesive. The results are presented in the following table.

a. Construct an ANOVA table. You may give ranges for the P-values.
b. Is the additive model plausible? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
c. Can the effect of adhesive on the bond strength be described by interpreting the main effects of adhesive? If so, interpret the main effects. If not, explain why not.
d. Can the effect of curing pressure on the bond strength be described by interpreting the main effects of curing pressure? If so, interpret the main effects. If not, explain why not.
