An experiment was conducted to determine the optimal conditions for extruding plastic film. Three responses were measured in relation to two factors, change in rate of extrusion and amount of an additive, both with two levels and \(n=5\) observations per cell.

Format

A data frame with 20 observations on the following 5 variables.

tear

a numeric vector: tear resistance

gloss

a numeric vector: film gloss

opacity

a numeric vector: film opacity

rate

a factor representing change in the rate of extrusion with levels Low (-10%), High (10%)

additive

a factor with levels Low (1.0%), High (1.5%)
