To conduct an ANOVA analysis based on the processing times provided for the different temperature settings and the catalyst and solvent levels, we need to fill out the ANOVA table you've started.
Let's break this down step by step.
### Step 1: Calculate the Treatment Means
**Temperature Levels:**
- **Low Temperature:** (30 + 27 + 27) / 3 = 28
- **Middle Temperature:** (26 + 26 + 23) / 3 = 25
- **High Temperature:** (25 + 22 + 22) / 3 = 23
### Step 2: Calculate the Overall Mean
Overall mean = (30 + 27 + 27 + 26 + 26 + 23 + 25 + 22 + 22) / 9 = 25
### Step 3: Calculate the Sum of Squares for Treatments (SST)
Using the treatment means calculated:
\[
SS_{\text{Treatments}} = n \sum (\bar{X}_j - \bar{X})^2
\]
Where \(n\) is the number of observations per treatment (in this case, 3), \(\bar{X}_j\) is the mean for each treatment, and \(\bar{X}\) is the overall mean.
\[
SS_{\text{Treatments}} = 3 \left( (28 - 25)^2 + (25 - 25)^2 + (23 - 25)^2 \right)
\]
\[
= 3 \left( (3)^2 + (0)^2 + (-2)^2 \right) = 3(9 + 0 + 4) = 3(13) = 39
\]
### Step 4: Calculate the Sum of Squares for Blocks (SSB)
Using the block sums shown (you would get this from your actual data):
\[
SS_{\text{Blocks}} = \sum_{i=1}^{k} n (\bar{Y}_i - \bar{Y})^2
\]
Assume similar calculations would yield blocks means and an overall mean for the blocks. If the mean for each block is calculated correctly, we can assess the blocks' contribution.
### Step 5: Calculate Residuals (SSE)
You can calculate the residuals after obtaining sums of squares for treatments and blocks:
\[
SS_{\text{Residuals}} = SS_{\text{Total}} - (SS_{\text{Treatments}} + SS_{\text{Blocks}})
\]
### Step 6: Degrees of Freedom
- \(df_{\text{Treatments}} = k - 1\) where \(k\) is the number of treatment levels
- \(df_{\text{Blocks}} = b - 1\) where \(b\) is the number of blocks
- \(df_{\text{Residual}} = (k - 1)(b - 1)\)
Assuming:
- \(k = 3\) (3 temperature settings)
- \(b = 3\) (3 blocks)
The calculated degrees would be:
- \(df_{\text{Treatments}} = 3 - 1 = 2\)
- \(df_{\text{Blocks}} = 3 - 1 = 2\)
- \(df_{\text{Residual}} = (3 - 1)(3 - 1) = 4\)
### Step 7: Mean Squares and F-Ratio Calculation
\[
MS_{\text{Treatments}} = \frac{SS_{\text{Treatments}}}{df_{\text{Treatments}}}
\]
\[
MS_{\text{Blocks}} = \frac{SS_{\text{Blocks}}}{df_{\text{Blocks}}}
\]
\[
MS_{\text{Residuals}} = \frac{SS_{\text{Residuals}}}{df_{\text{Residual}}}
\]
And determine the F-ratios:
\[
F_{\text{Treatments}} = \frac{MS_{\text{Treatments}}}{MS_{\text{Residuals}}}
\]
\[
F_{\text{Blocks}} = \frac{MS_{\text{Blocks}}}{MS_{\text{Residuals}}}
\]
### Step 8: Compare with F-table
You need to reference an F-table for \(df_1\), \(df_2\) at the 1% significance level.
### Final ANOVA Table
The completed ANOVA table based on your summary:
| Source | SS | df | MS | F |
|-----------------|------|----|-------|------|
| Treatments | 39 | 2 | | |
| Blocks | | 2 | | |
| Residuals | | 4 | | |
| Total | | | | |
With the computations completed, you would place the F-ratios and compare against the critical values for decisions based on significance at the 1% level.
If you have these values, we can fill the rest in, or if you need help on specific areas of this, please let me know!
