Are you able to conduct tests based on the main effects? Yes No b-2. If yes, conduct these tests at the 5% significance level. (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer.) Differences exist in the average brightness of fabrics depending on the temperature of the water. Differences do not exist in the average brightness of fabrics depending on the detergent brand name. Differences exist in the average brightness of fabrics depending on the detergent brand name. Differences do not exist in the average brightness of fabrics depending on the temperature of the water.
