To find the value of (A) in the given ANOVA table, we can use the relationship among the sum of squares (SS), degrees of freedom (df), mean squares (MS), and F-statistic.
Given the ANOVA structure, we know that:
- Total Sum of Squares (SS_Total) = SS_Treatment + SS_Error
- Total Degrees of Freedom = df_Treatment + df_Error + df_Total
Let's break down the provided information:
- SS_Treatment = (A)
- df_Treatment = 2
- MS_Treatment = 43,024.778 (which is calculated as SS_Treatment / df_Treatment)
- F_stat = 25.1754 (which is calculated as MS_Treatment / MS_Error)
Since you have both the MS_Treatment and the df_Treatment, we can find SS_Treatment (A) as follows:
\[ MS_Treatment = \frac{SS_Treatment}{df_Treatment} \]
Plugging in the numbers:
\[ 43,024.778 = \frac{A}{2} \]
Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for \(A\):
\[ A = 43,024.778 \times 2 = 86,049.556 \]
Thus, the value of (A) is approximately 86,049.556.
