Efficiency of a RBD
122
The variance of X̄i·, the estimate of µ + αi, is
2 /n for the CRD and σ 2 /b for the RBD,
σCR RB
where n is the number of replications of each
treatment in the CRD and b the number of
blocks in the RBD.

In our semiconductor example,
(5 − 1)492.125 + 5(4 − 1)130.925
RE =
[5(4) − 1]130.925
= 1.58.
It is estimated that for a CRD we would have
needed n to be about 5(1.58) ≈ 8 to achieve
the same efficiency as the RBD.
