A certain pilot-plant operation involves the saponification of a particular fatty alcohol. This reaction can be carried out in either of two different reactors. As the engineer in charge of this project, you feel that the raw material from one supplier is contaminated. Before you left for vacation. you told your technicians to run six batches from each of the two possible suppliers through the process under normal conditions. This will give you six replications on each of the two treatments (fatty alcohol sources) for the t-test you have in mind. Your summer technicans decided to speed things up and run three batches through each reactor. Now that you are back from your trip, how are you going to analyze the data that your technicians have obtained? Include in your answer the following: model, hypotheses to be tested and the necessary F-ratios, and the types of effects (fixed, random, mixed) being evaluated.
