25, construct an ANOVA table similar to

Table 5.4. (b) Test at the 1 level oI signiIicance the hypothesis that the
means Ior Iactor A populations (Iertilizers) are identical. (c) Test at the 1
level oI signiIicance the hypothesis that the means Ior Iactor B populations
(pesticides) are identical.

we can test 94 null hypotheses, one Ior Iactor A and one Ior Iactor B.
