STA 676 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

Homework #9 (Due Thursday, April 13)

The following three exercises are from Chapter 9, pages 327–330.

 
σ2 kr(t−1)
1. Problem 1. In part d., you can use the fact that V ar (µbi (adjusted)) = rt
1+ λt
.
Furthermore, omit parts f. and g.

2. Problem 5.

3. Problem 6.

4. a. For a 22 factorial design, show that V ar(A) b = σ 2 /r. In addition, show that the
degrees of freedom used to construct a CI for A is 4(r − 1).
b. For a 2n factorial design, show that V ar(A)b = σ 2 /(r2n−2 ). In addition, show that the
degrees of freedom used to construct a CI for A is 2n (r − 1).
