question 113

Multiple Choice

TABLE 11-6
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.
-Referring to Table 11-6, what is the null hypothesis for testing the block effects?

• A) H₀: μFᵢₑld₁ = μFᵢₑld₂ = μFᵢₑld₃ = μFᵢₑld₄ = μFᵢₑld₅
• B) H₀: μSmᵢth = μWₐlsh = μTᵣₑᵥₒᵣ
• C) H₀: MFᵢₑld₁ = MFᵢₑld₂ = MFᵢₑld₃ = MFᵢₑld₄ = MFᵢₑld₅
• D) H₀: MSmᵢth = MWₐlsh = MTᵣₑᵥₒᵣ
