QUESTION NO.01:
In a randomized complete block design, in each of four blocks I II, III, and IV, four
varieties of wheat and are in the layout given below and yield is also indicated
with one missing value represented by x.
Treatments
A B C D
I 17 27 15 25
II 28 26 16 22
Blocks
III 22 25 12 14
IV 17 18 x 19
SOULTION:
TREATEMENT
A B C D
i 17 27 15 25
ii 28 26 16 22
BLOCK
iii 22 25 12 14
iv 17 18 x 19
AS,
To estimate the missing value, we will use the average of the observed values for treatment C in
the other blocks (I, II, III).
- Block I, Treatment C: 15
x = (15 + 16 + 12) / 3
= 43 / 3
= 14.33
Now that we've estimated the missing value, the completed table would be:
TREATEMENT
A B C D
i 17 27 15 25
ii 28 26 16 22
BLOCK
iii 22 25 12 14
iv 17 18 14.33 19
This completes the missing data estimation for treatment C in block IV.
Question no.02:
Solution:
1- Hypothesis
Null Hypotheses
H₀ = μA = μB = μC = μD
2. Block Effect: There is no significant difference between the blocks (i, ii, iii, IV).
Alternative Hypotheses
2. Block Effect: There is a significant difference between the blocks (i, ii, iii, iv).
H₁ = At least one block mean is different
2-level of signigicance 5%
3-test statitics
To calculate the test statistics for the given data and test hypotheses using ANOVA at the 5%
significance level (α = 0.05), we will follow a systematic approach.
TEST STATISTICS:
Solution:
The grand mean is the average of all the values in the table.
GM = 18.396
Step 2: Calculate the Mean for Each Treatment (A, B, C, D)
μA = (17 + 28 + 22 + 17) / 4 = 21
μB = (27 + 26 + 25 + 18) / 4 = 24
μD = (25 + 22 + 14 + 19) / 4 = 20
Step 3: Calculate the Mean for Each Block (i, ii, iii, iv)
μi = (17 + 27 + 15 + 25) / 4 = 21
The SST measures the variation between the treatment means and the grand mean.
SST = 229.188
Step 5: Sum of Squares for Blocks (SSB)
The SSB measures the variation between the block means and the grand mean.
SSB = 118.9
The SSE measures the unexplained variation (within blocks and treatments).
Now, we can calculate the Mean Squares for treatments, blocks, and error.
Finally, compare the calculated F1 and F2 values to the critical F-values from the F-distribution
table at a 5% significance level (α = 0.05).
If the p-value is less than 0.05, reject the null hypothesis. If the p-value is greater than 0.05, fail
to reject the null hypothesis.
