• A)0.320
• B)0.576
• C)0.600
• D)1.000

Definitions:

Multifactor Experiment

A multifactor experiment is an investigative process in research that involves the manipulation of multiple variables to determine their effect on the subject of interest.

SSE

Sum of Squares due to Error; a measure used in statistics that quantifies the variance in an observed variable not explained by the predictive model.

Blocks

In the context of experimental design, a group of experimental units that are similar in some way that is expected to affect the response to the treatments.

Independently Distributed

Refers to random variables not influenced by each other's values.
