Definitions:

Number of Blocks

In experimental design, the total count of groups or sets into which experimental units are divided for the purpose of minimizing variance due to confounding variables.

Randomized Block Design

A statistical experiment design that aims to reduce variability among experimental units by grouping them into blocks before randomly assigning treatments.

Significant Interaction

Indicates a combined effect of two or more variables on a dependent variable that is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Pay Plan-Shift Combination

A specific arrangement of compensation structures associated with different work shifts, designed to offer variable pay rates based on the timing of shifts.
