Amir has been making yogurt at home to create a tasty and economical
alternative to commercial yogurts. He designs a simple two-factor
Ungraded practice experiment quiz 1
to optimize the taste of his yogurt. He creates four batches of6/6 points (100 %)
yogurt according to a DOE framework, varying the fat content of the
starter yogurt used (0% or 2%) and the fermentation time, or time of
bacterial activity (10 hours or 16 hours).
He rates the taste of each batch on a scale of 1 to 10. The cube plot below
shows the taste rating he has given each batch:
Using the data from the cube plot, choose the options that are true:
Select all the checkboxes that correctly apply
Fermenting the yogurt batch for 10 hours, instead of 16 hours,

decreased the taste rating by 1 point
Correcto
Yes, this is correct.
Using a starter yogurt with a 2% fat content, instead of 0%,

increased the taste rating by 1 point
Using a starter yogurt with a 2% fat content, instead of 0%,

increased the taste rating by 3 points
