Objective(s) of this Assignment:

The assignment is being uploaded to build up the concepts of Hypothesis

Testing.
Question 1:

(a) Suppose there are four treatments A, B, C, D which are replicated 4, 3, 3 and 5
times, respectively. Then make the layout of completely randomized design (CRD)
having 15 plots (units) and 4 treatments.

(b) How does the availability of resources bind a researcher in choosing the number
of replications?

Question 2:

(a) Given the following data obtained from a CRD with four treatments, analyse the given
data and draw conclusion about the equality of treatment effects.
Treatments
T1 T2 T3 T4
20.9 23.7 13.2 5.8
12.4 14.4 10.2 6.1
10.1 9.0 5.1 4.8
4.2 1.5

(b) Make the layout of a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments and
four blocks, and give the formulae for calculating the sum of squares required for analysis of
variance.
