1. Suppose the following statistics were calculated from data gathered from a randomized block experiment with k = 4 and b = 10: SS(Total) = 1,210 SST = 275 SSB = 625

a. Can we conclude from these statistics that the treatment means differ? (Use α = .01.)

b. Can we conclude from these statistics that the block means differ? (Use α = .01.)

2. A randomized block experiment produced the following statistics. k = 3 b = 8 SST = 1,500 SS(Total) = 3,500

a. Test at the 5% significance level to determine whether the treatment means differ given that

SSB = 500.

b. Repeat Part a with SSB = 1,000.

c. Repeat Part a with SSB = 1,500.

d. Describe what happens to the test statistic as SSB increases.
