days each patient takes to recover. The results are as follows (recovery time in
days)?
Treatment
Doctors 1 2 3 4
A 10 14 19 20
B 11 15 17 21
C 9 12 16 19
D 8 13 17 20
Discuss the difference between (a) doctors (b) treatments
6. The following data resulted from an experiment to compare 3 burnels B1, B2 & B3.
Latin square design was used as the tests were made on 3 engines & ware spread
over 3 days.
Engine 1 Engine 2 Engine 3
Day 1 B1 16 B2 17 B3 20
Day 2 B2 16 B3 -21 B1 15
Day 3 B3 15 B1 12 B2 13
Test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the burnels.
6. Analyse the variance in the following Latin square of yields (in kgs) of paddy
where A, B, C, D denote the different methods of cultivation.
D122 A121 C123 B122
B124 C123 A122 D125
A120 B119 D120 C121
C122 D123 B121 A122
Examine whether the different methods of cultivation have given significantly
different yields.
16. An experiment was planned to study the effect of sulphate of potash and super
phosphate on the yield of potatoes. All the combinations of 2 levels of super
phosphate [0 cent (P0) and 5 cent (P1) / acre] and two levels of sulphate of potash
[0 cent (K0) and 5 cent (K1) / acre] were studied in a randomized block design with
4 replications for each.
The (1/70) yields [lb per plot =
