To find the missing value indicated by (d), we can use the formula:
SS = MS * df
First, we need to find the value of MS (Mean Square) for the Treatments and Errors using the available information.
For Treatments:
MS = SS / df = 583.2 / b
For Errors:
MS = SS / df = a / 15
Next, we can use the given information to write the equation:
SS (Treatments) + SS (Errors) = Total SS
583.2 + a = 714.0
Solving for "a" gives:
a = 714.0 - 583.2 = 130.8
Now, we can substitute this value of "a" in the equation for Errors' MS:
MS (Errors) = a / 15 = 130.8 / 15 = 8.72
Therefore, the missing value indicated by (d) is 8.72.

The degrees of freedom (df) for the treatments can be calculated by subtracting 1 from the number of treatments (in this case, the number of machines being compared).
In this case, there are 3 machines, so the df for the treatments is 3-1 = 2.
Therefore, the df of the treatments is 2.
In this case, there are 3 machines, so the df for the treatments is 3-1 = 2.
Therefore, the df of the treatments is 2.

To calculate the total sum of squares (SST), we need to find the sum of the squared deviations from the overall mean.
First, we calculate the overall mean by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of observations:
Overall Mean = (11.3 + 12.4 + 10.9 + 14.2 + 14.3 + 13.7 + 14.9 + 15.2 + 17.7 + 12.2 + 11.3 + 12.5) / 12 = 144 / 12 = 12
Next, we calculate the squared deviations from the overall mean for each observation and then sum them up:
SST = (11.3 - 12)^2 + (12.4 - 12)^2 + (10.9 - 12)^2 + (14.2 - 12)^2 + (14.3 - 12)^2 + (13.7 - 12)^2 + (14.9 - 12)^2 + (15.2 - 12)^2 + (17.7 - 12)^2 + (12.2 - 12)^2 + (11.3 - 12)^2 + (12.5 - 12)^2
SST = 0.5467 + 0.1767 + 0.6467 + 2.5467 + 2.7967 + 0.0567 + 2.1967 + 3.2367 + 25.5167 + 0.0567 + 0.1767 + 0.4267
SST = 38.9365
Therefore, the total sum of squares (SST) is approximately 38.9365.
First, we calculate the overall mean by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of observations:
Overall Mean = (11.3 + 12.4 + 10.9 + 14.2 + 14.3 + 13.7 + 14.9 + 15.2 + 17.7 + 12.2 + 11.3 + 12.5) / 12 = 144 / 12 = 12
Next, we calculate the squared deviations from the overall mean for each observation and then sum them up:
SST = (11.3 - 12)^2 + (12.4 - 12)^2 + (10.9 - 12)^2 + (14.2 - 12)^2 + (14.3 - 12)^2 + (13.7 - 12)^2 + (14.9 - 12)^2 + (15.2 - 12)^2 + (17.7 - 12)^2 + (12.2 - 12)^2 + (11.3 - 12)^2 + (12.5 - 12)^2
SST = 0.5467 + 0.1767 + 0.6467 + 2.5467 + 2.7967 + 0.0567 + 2.1967 + 3.2367 + 25.5167 + 0.0567 + 0.1767 + 0.4267
SST = 38.9365
Therefore, the total sum of squares (SST) is approximately 38.9365.

85.3
15.3180
49.7834
To find the value at (d) in the ANOVA table, we can use the formula:
MS = SS / df
From the given information, we can calculate MS for "Errors" as:
MS(Errors) = SS(Errors) / df(Errors)
MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / c
We also know that the degrees of freedom for Errors is equal to the Total degrees of freedom minus the degrees of freedom for Treatments:
df(Errors) = Total df - Treatment df
df(Errors) = b - 2
Now, we can substitute the values in the formula:
MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / (b - 2)
From the given table, we know that MS(Treatments) = 85.3000. Since the number of treatments is 2, we can calculate the SS(Treatments) as:
SS(Treatments) = MS(Treatments) * df(Treatments)
SS(Treatments) = 85.3000 * 2 = 170.6000
Also, we know that the Total SS is equal to the sum of SS(Treatments) and SS(Errors):
Total SS = SS(Treatments) + SS(Errors)
Total SS = 170.6000 + 199.1334
Total SS = 369.7334
Since the Total df is given as 14, we can substitute the values in the formula:
MS(Treatments) = SS(Treatments) / df(Treatments)
85.3000 = 170.6000 / 2
Finally, we can solve the equations to find the missing values:
(b) = Total SS = 369.7334
(c) = df(Errors) = b - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
(d) = MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / (b - 2)
(d) = 199.1334 / 12 ≈ 16.5945
(e) = df(Treatments) = 2
(f) = Ftab. = Fstat. (we are not given the F-statistic, so we cannot determine the value)
Therefore, the value at (d) is approximately 16.5945.
MS = SS / df
From the given information, we can calculate MS for "Errors" as:
MS(Errors) = SS(Errors) / df(Errors)
MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / c
We also know that the degrees of freedom for Errors is equal to the Total degrees of freedom minus the degrees of freedom for Treatments:
df(Errors) = Total df - Treatment df
df(Errors) = b - 2
Now, we can substitute the values in the formula:
MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / (b - 2)
From the given table, we know that MS(Treatments) = 85.3000. Since the number of treatments is 2, we can calculate the SS(Treatments) as:
SS(Treatments) = MS(Treatments) * df(Treatments)
SS(Treatments) = 85.3000 * 2 = 170.6000
Also, we know that the Total SS is equal to the sum of SS(Treatments) and SS(Errors):
Total SS = SS(Treatments) + SS(Errors)
Total SS = 170.6000 + 199.1334
Total SS = 369.7334
Since the Total df is given as 14, we can substitute the values in the formula:
MS(Treatments) = SS(Treatments) / df(Treatments)
85.3000 = 170.6000 / 2
Finally, we can solve the equations to find the missing values:
(b) = Total SS = 369.7334
(c) = df(Errors) = b - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
(d) = MS(Errors) = 199.1334 / (b - 2)
(d) = 199.1334 / 12 ≈ 16.5945
(e) = df(Treatments) = 2
(f) = Ftab. = Fstat. (we are not given the F-statistic, so we cannot determine the value)
Therefore, the value at (d) is approximately 16.5945.
Prior to submitting a bid for a construction job, cost engineering prepare a detailed analysis of the estimated labour and materials costs required to complete the job. This estimate will depend on the engineer who performs the analysis. An overly large estimate will reduce the chance of acceptance of a company’s bid price, whereas an estimate that it too low, will reduce the profit or even cause the company to lose money on the job. A company that employs three job cost engineers wanted to compare the mean level of the engineers’ estimates. This was done by having each engineer estimate the cost of the same four jobs. The data are shown in the table below.

Give the null hypothesis appropriate to test for the difference between the block means.
Both a and b
The null hypothesis appropriate to test for the difference between the block means is that there is no significant difference in the mean estimates of the cost of the jobs among the three job cost engineers.
So, the null hypothesis can be stated as:
H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3
where μ1, μ2, and μ3 represent the mean estimates of the cost of the jobs by engineer 1, engineer 2, and engineer 3, respectively.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Both a and b"

To find the critical value of the blocks, we need to consider the F-statistic at the 1% significance level for the Residuals as the F-critical value for the blocks.
In the ANOVA table, the F-statistic for the Residuals is denoted by F.
The degrees of freedom for Treatments is given as 3 (Vg/Df) and for Residuals is given as c (df).
Since we are testing at the 1% significance level, the alpha level (α) is 0.01.
Now, we can use a statistical table or calculator to find the F-critical value for the blocks.
Therefore, the critical value of the blocks is denoted as Ftab for the Residuals, which corresponds to the F-statistic at the 1% significance level and with (c) degrees of freedom in the numerator and (f) degrees of freedom in the denominator.
Since the exact values for (c) and (f) are not given, we cannot determine the specific value of the critical value of the blocks without additional information or calculations.
None of the given options match the critical value of the blocks at the 1% significance level.

To find the missing value indicated by (b) in the ANOVA table, we can use the formula:
MS = SS / df
From the given information, we can calculate MS for "Treatments" as:
MS(Treatments) = SS(Treatments) / df(Treatments)
MS(Treatments) = 583.2 / b
We also know that the degrees of freedom for Errors is given as 15.
Now, we can substitute the values in the formula:
MS(Treatments) = 583.2 / b
Given that the Total SS is 714.0 and the Total degrees of freedom is 20, we can calculate the SS for Errors as:
SS(Errors) = Total SS - SS(Treatments)
SS(Errors) = 714.0 - 583.2
SS(Errors) = 130.8
Since SS(Errors) = MS(Errors) * df(Errors), we can calculate MS(Errors) as:
MS(Errors) = SS(Errors) / df(Errors)
MS(Errors) = 130.8 / 15
MS(Errors) = 8.72

Now, we can substitute the values in the formula:

SS(Errors) = 714.0 - 583.2
SS(Errors) = 130.8
Since SS(Errors) = MS(Errors) * df(Errors), we can calculate MS(Errors) as:

Sum of yields = 895
Total number of observations = 4 varieties x 4 years = 16
Grand mean yield = Sum of yields / Total number of observations
Grand mean yield = 895 / 16
Grand mean yield = 55.9375
Therefore, the grand mean yield is 55.9375. However, none of the given options match this value.
