ii) No. of Div: 11, No. of Faculty: 4
iii) Randomised Block Design
iv) H01 = There is no significant effect of division on students’
performance.
H02 = There is no significant effect of faculty realm on
student’ performance.
iv) Both division and faculty are significant at 5%( as p< 0.05).
Question 4
There are four cars available for comparative study of tyre performance. It is believed that tyres are
wearing out in a different rate at different positions of a car. Tyers were installed in four different
locations: Right-Front (RF), Left-Front (LF), Right-Rear (RR) and Left-Rear (LR). The measurements of
the wearing out of tyres in this investigation are noted. Three factors are considered in the study.
They are tyre position, car and the different tyres studied in this investigation.

Practice Question 1
An experiment to investigate the effects of various dietary starch levels on milk production was conducted on
four cows. The four diets, T1, T2, T3, and T4, (in order of increasing starch equivalent), were fed for three
weeks to each cow and the total yield of milk in the third week of each period was recorded (i.e. third week
to minimize carry-over effects due to the use of treatments administered in a previous period). That is, the
trial lasted 12 weeks since each cow received each treatment, and each treatment required three weeks. The
investigator felt strongly that time period effects might be important (i.e earlier periods in the experiment
might influence milk yields differently compared to later periods). Hence, the investigator wanted to block on
both cow and period. However, each cow cannot possibly receive more than one treatment during the same
time period; that is, all possible cow-period blocking combinations could not logically be considered. To start
the randomization for a Latin square that accommodates these types of concerns, let's choose at random
from one of the 4 standard Latin squares when a = 4 treatments.
