A process engineer is trying to improve the life of a cutting tool. He has run a 23 experiment using (1) cutting speed, (2) metal hardness, (3) and cutting angle as the factors. The data from the 2 replicates are shown below.   (a) Do any of the 3 factors affect tool life?   (b)what combination of the factor levels produces the longest tool life?   (c) Is there a combination of cutting speed and cutting angle that always gives good results regardless of metal hardness?
