extrusion temperature X1 and cooling temperature X2 on the
compressibility of a finished product. Knowledge of the process
suggested that a model of the form Y = pp + f31; + f32X2 + B12 X1X2 +
would satisfactorily explain the variation observed. Two levels of
extrusion temperature and two levels of cooling temperature were
chosen and all four of the combinations were performed. Each of the four
experiments was carried out four times and the data yielded the
following information :
