In the Friedman's Test for a Randomized Block Design with K

question 1

Multiple Choice

In the Friedman's test for a randomized block design with k = 5 and l = 8, the test statistic is F_r = 9.87. Use a significance level of 0.05 to determine if the null hypothesis should be rejected or accepted.

• A) The test statistic of 9.87 is less than the critical value of 11.07; therefore, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
• B) The test statistic of 9.87 is more than the critical value of 9.49; therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.
• C) The test statistic of 9.87 is less than the critical value of 14.07; therefore, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
• D) The test statistic of 9.87 is more than the critical value of 7.78; therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.
