The following data were obtained for a randomized block design involving FIVE treatments and THREE blocks: SST=430, SSTR=310, SSBL=85. Set up the anova table and test for any significant differences. Use a = 0.05
please show any working out when calculating
Solution
F2,8(0.05) =3.84 for treatments
since
F (tabulated ) < F (calculated ) for treatments
so
we reject the null hypothesis
hence treatments means are different
for Blocks
F2,8=4.46
F tabulated < F calculated
so
we reject the null hypothesis
hence
Blocks means are different
| Source of variation | SS | df | MS | F |
| Treatments | 310 | 4 | 77.5 | 17.71 |
| Blocks | 85 | 2 | 42.2 | 9.64 |
| Error | 35 | 8 | 4.375 | |
