1 The objective of this experiment was to measure the effect of water stress on nitrogen
fixation in four cowpea varieties. Plants were grown in a greenhouse and watered with 5,
10, and 15 ml of the appropriate nutrient solution. Fifty-five days after planting, the
nitrogen nodules were removed from the plants and counted and weighed. The entire
experiment was replicated three times. The response variable to be analyzed is the weight
of the nitrogen nodule. The data are given in Table 10.26. Perform the appropriate analysis
to determine the effect of water stress.

2 This example of a randomized block design with sampling concerns an experiment for
testing the effectiveness of three types of gasoline additives for boosting gas mileage on a
specific type of car. Three randomly selected cars, which constitute blocks, are purchased
for the experiment. Having purchased the cars and made all arrangements for conducting
the test, the cost to repeat the individual trials is low. Hence, each additive is tested four
(randomly ordered) times on each of the three cars. Thus we have a randomized block
design with three treatments, three random effect blocks, and four samples in each
treatment block combination. The data, including cell and marginal totals in bold, are
given in Table 10.32.

Perform the appropriate test for determining differences due to additives. Also compute
the gain in efficiency of the randomized block design compared to the completely
randomized design.
