A randomized block experiment is run with three treatments T
A randomized block experiment is run with three treatments. The analysis-of-varaince (ANOVA) table takes the form below.
(a) Fill in all of the messing entries in the analysis table.
(b) Conduct the F-test for treatments and clearly state your conclusion.
(c) Conduct the F-test for blocks and clearly state your conclusion.
Solution
(a)
(b) Here, for treatments F-stat. is 5.25 and F- critical is 5.14 at alpha 0.05
(c) Similarly for blocks F-stat. is 8.25 and F- critical is 4.76 at alpha 0.05
In both the cases ( b and c ), we fail to accept the null hypothesis.
