H0: All tips give the same mean reading against the alternative.
i = 1, 2,..., a
yij = + i + j + ij
j = 1, 2,..., b
• The relevant (fixed effects) hypotheses are,
H 0 : 1 = 2 = = a where i = (1/ b) j =1 ( + i + j ) = + i

• The degrees of freedom for the sums of squares in
SST = SSTreatments + SS Blocks + SS E
• are as follows:
ab − 1 = a − 1 + b − 1 + (a − 1)(b − 1)
• Therefore, ratios of sums of squares to their degrees of
freedom result in mean squares and the ratio of the mean
square for treatments to the error mean square is an F
statistic that can be used to test the hypothesis of equal
treatment means.
• a= treatments level, b= Number of blocks, N= a*b

• Take square of all the blocks mean (column summation) and add
them. Then divide this number by “a”. Then subtract (square of grand
summation/N) from this calculated value.

• Reference Distribution for F0 is the Fa-1, a(n-1) distribution
• Reject the null hypothesis (equal treatment means) if,
• F0 = MSBlocks/MSE
• If Fo is large, it implies that the blocking factor has a large effect and
that the noise reduction obtained by blocking was probably helpful in
improving the precision of the comparison of treatment means.
• Reject the null hypothesis (blocking has no effect) if,
