Answer :
Step 0

Step 1
Consider the three-factor factorial model for a single replicate.

Assume that all factors are random. That is, the three factors A, B, and C are
random.

Step 2
From Table 13.9, the expected mean square is given below:

Remove the error term from the above expected mean square table and set n = 1.
Here, the three-factor interaction cannot be tested. Also, except for the interaction
effect, there are no exact tests for all the main effect.

Step 3
The F-test formulas for the main effect of the random factors are given below:

The test statistic for factor A is .

The test statistic for factor B is .

The test statistic for factor C is .

Step 4

If and are eliminated, then the model becomes:

Step 5
Expected mean square for the main effects:

The expected mean square for the main effect of the random factor A is given
below:

The expected mean square for the main effect of the random factor B is given
below:
The expected mean square for the main effect of the random factor C is given
below:

Step 6
Expected mean square for the interaction effects:

The expected mean square for the interaction effect AC is given below:

The expected mean square for the interaction effect BC is given below:

The expected mean square for the random error is given below:

Step 7
Construct the ANOVA table with the expected mean squares.

Except for factor C, there are exact tests for all effects, and the test statistic formula

for factor C is .
