TABLE 11-10
an Agronomist Wants to Compare the Crop Yield

question 83

True/False

TABLE 11-10
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants all 3 varieties of the seeds on each of 5 different patches of fields. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. Treating this as a randomized block design, the results are presented in the table that follows.
$$\begin{array} { l c c l } \text { Fields } & \text { Smith } & \text { Walsh } & \text { Trevor } \\1 & 11.1 & 19.0 & 14.6 \\2 & 13.5 & 18.0 & 15.7 \\3 & 15.3 & 19.8 & 16.8 \\4 & 14.6 & 19.6 & 16.7 \\5 & 9.8 & 16.6 & 15.2\end{array}$$
-Referring to Table 11-10, the decision made at a 0.01 level of significance on the F test for the block effects implies that the blocking has been advantageous in reducing the experiment error.

The edges where two tectonic plates meet, often associated with seismic and volcanic activity.

Plate Boundaries

The edges where two or more tectonic plates meet, characterized by earthquakes and volcanic activity due to the movement of the plates.

Accompanying Map

A map provided with other materials or data to help illustrate relationships, locations, or findings related to the main topic of study.

Passive Continental Margin
