GAQM CLSSBB-001 Exam - Topic 5 Question 74 Discussion

If an experiment has 5 factors and no replicates for a 2-level Experimental Design with 16 experimental runs which statement is incorrect?
C) The Main Effects for the 5 factors are not aliased or confounded but the 2-way interactions are confounded with the 3-way interactions
A) The Experimental Design is half-fractional
B) The Main Effects are confounded with only 4-way interactions
D) The experiment has 8 experimental runs with the first factor at the high level

I’m pretty sure that if there are 5 factors, we can't have just 8 runs, so option D seems incorrect to me.

I feel like option C might be tricky because it mentions confounding, and I remember that being a common issue in these designs.

I think I saw a similar question where main effects were confounded with interactions, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember studying fractional factorial designs, but I'm not entirely sure if 16 runs means it's half-fractional or not.

This seems straightforward enough. I'm pretty confident I can identify the incorrect statement based on my understanding of 2-level factorial designs.

I've got a good strategy for this. I'll start by identifying the key characteristics of the design, then use that to evaluate each of the statements and determine which one is incorrect.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can someone help me understand the difference between "confounded" and "aliased" in the context of this problem?

Okay, let's see. 5 factors, 2-level design, 16 runs... I think I know the answer, but I want to double-check my work before committing to an option.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the details of the experimental design to figure out which statement is incorrect.

D is definitely incorrect. With 5 factors and a 2-level design, there should be 32 experimental runs, not 8.
