When a 24 experiment is fractionated to a 24'5 experiment, the fractioned design is also known as a
A.
90% fraction
B.
75% fraction
C.
fraction
D.
fraction
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
In factorial design experiments, fractionating involves using a subset of the full set of experimental runs. A 242^424 full factorial experiment involves 16 runs, and fractionating this to 24−12^{4-1}24−1 results in 8 runs.
90% Fraction:
Incorrect, as this would imply a fractional design close to the full factorial, but it is not standard terminology.
75% Fraction:
The correct answer as 24−12^{4-1}24−1 implies a design that uses 816\frac{8}{16}168 or 50% of the full factorial runs. However, in common terminology, a fractionated design resulting in fewer runs (half of the runs) is considered a 50% fraction. Therefore, this fractionation corresponds to a 50% fraction or half fraction.
Fraction:
Too vague, as it does not specify the fraction size.
Fraction:
Duplicates "fraction."
Therefore, the correct fractional reduction is to a 50% fraction, which is commonly used in design of experiments. The proper fraction designation in this case should be 50%, not 75%.
