Full-factorial design = 2^3 = 8 runs.

It's 8 runs for 3 factors at 2 levels!

I’m not confident, but I feel like it could be 12? I remember something about needing to account for interactions, but I can't quite remember how that fits in.

If I recall correctly, for three factors at two levels, it should be 2^3, which equals 8. I hope that's right!

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was 8. But I'm not entirely sure if I got the factors mixed up.

I think a full-factorial design with three factors at two levels means we multiply 2 by itself three times, right? So that should be 2^3?

Okay, I remember learning about full-factorial designs in class. The number of runs is equal to the number of possible combinations, which is 2^k where k is the number of factors. So for 3 factors, that's 2^3 = 8 runs. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this. Let me think it through - there are 3 factors, each with 2 levels, so that's 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 possible combinations. But I'm not sure if that's the same as the number of runs required. I'll have to double-check my notes.

I think I know this one - a full-factorial design with 3 factors at 2 levels means there are 2^3 = 8 possible combinations, so the number of runs required is 8.

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't a full-factorial design supposed to have all possible combinations of the factor levels? If there are 3 factors at 2 levels each, wouldn't that be 2 x 2 x 2 = 12 runs? I'll have to re-read the question carefully.

Wait, isn't a full-factorial design the one where you test every possible combination? That sounds like a lot of work - I'll stick to my 2^k designs, thank you very much!

It's true, full-factorial designs can be quite intensive with all the combinations.

Trick question! The real answer is to order a pizza and take a break from studying. Factorial designs are the worst...

I think the answer is B. 8 runs are required for a full-factorial design with three factors at two levels. It's basic experimental design stuff!

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be D) 12 because each factor at two levels means 2^3 = 8 runs, and then we need to include all possible combinations, which would be 8 + 4 = 12.

I agree with Rochell, because each factor at two levels means 2^3 = 8 runs, but we also need to include the full factorial, so it's 8 + 1 = 9.
