Block 3 219.43 s²B = 73.14 Fb = 73.14/15.31 = 4.

Error 15 229.63 s²E = 15.31

Total 23 1.350.25

Tabulated F₃, ₁₅, (0.05) = 5.42 and F₅, ₁₅ (0.05) = 4.5 .Since under Hₒt Ft ̴ F (5,
15) and under Hₒb, Fb ̴ F (3, 15), we see that Ft is significant while Fb is not
significant at 5% level of significance. Hence, Ft is rejected at 5% level of
significance and we conclude that treatment effects are not alike. On the other
hand, Hb may be retained at 5% level of significance and we may conclude that
the blocks are homogeneous.
