In the randomized block design for ANOVA where k is the number of treatments and b in the number of blocks, the degrees of freedom for error is given by:
a. bk - 1
b. kb + 1
c. (b - 1)(k - 1)
d. k + b - 1
e. (b + 1)(k + 1)
Q. 2The equation: Total SS = SST + SSB + SSE applies to which ANOVA model?
a. one-way ANOVA
b. a two-factor factorial design
c. completely randomized design
d. randomized block design
e. none of these
Q. 3A randomized block design with 4 treatments and 5 blocks produced the following sum of squares values: SS(Total) = 2000, SST = 400, SSE = 200 . The value of MSB must be 350.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 4The randomized block design with two treatments is equivalent to a non-directional dependent samples z-test.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 5If we first arrange test units into similar groups before assigning treatments to them, the test design we should use is the randomized block design.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
Q. 6The purpose of designing a randomized block experiment is to reduce the between-treatments variation (SST) to more easily detect differences between the treatment means.
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
