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.
