Question

In a study examining the effects of time of day (morning or afternoon) and temperature (cool, normal, or warm) on worker productivity, the factorial notation would be _____ (i.e., this would be a _____ design)

Answer 1

Answer: The factorial notation will be 2×3

Explanation: The factorial design in an experiment involves adopting two or more factors in an experiment with each factor of the experiment having distinct levels. The factorial notation to be adopted in the experiment described above is 2×3 factorial design. This is so because the experiment has two separate factors, that is time of the day MORNING and AFTERNOON, with each factor, possessing three different levels, which is the temperature(cool, warm and normal).

Answer 2

The factorial notation would be 2x3 (i.e., this would be a 2x3 factorial design).

Step-by-step explanation:

A factorial design is one involving two or more factors in a single experiment. Such designs are classified by the number of levels of each factor and the number of factors. So a 2x3 factorial will have three factors each at two levels.

2x3 factorial design has 2 factors & 6 conditions.
