for both main effects and conclude that both factors are significant.
d) Fisher's pairwise comparisons
Family error rate = 0.1187
Individual error rate = 0.0500
Critical value = 2.131

850 -27.77 452.23
47.10 527.10
There are significant differences in the temperature levels 800 and 825, and 825 and 850.
Therefore, temperature level 825 is different from the other two levels.

Factors A, C, and D are significant as well as the interaction AD.
Question 6
a) Effect ABC is confounded with blocks, where A = juice, B = exercise, C = delay

b) In this model with blocking there are no significant factors.

Thus, the effects of juice as well as the interactions between juice and delay and exercise and
delay were marginally significant. Additional degrees of freedom for error are needed and the
normal probability plot of the effects does not indicate significant effects.
