1. **Problem:** Analyse the randomized block design data for washing solutions effectiveness over 4 days at \( \alpha=0.05 \). 2. **Step 1:** State the data and design. We have three solutions (treatments) and four days (blocks). The response is bacterial growth measure. Goal: check if solutions differ significantly after blocking by days. \[ \begin{array}{c|cccc} \text{Solution} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline 1 & 13 & 22 & 18 & 39 \\ 2 & 16 & 24 & 17 & 44 \\ 3 & 5 & 4 & 1 & 22 \end{array} \] 3. **Step 2:** Compute sums: - Total observations \( N=12 \) - Sum per solution \( S_1=13+22+18+39=92, S_2=16+24+17+44=101, S_3=5+4+1+22=32 \) - Sum per day (block) \( B_1=13+16+5=34, B_2=22+24+4=50, B_3=18+17+1=36, B_4=39+44+22=105 \) - Total sum \( T=92+101+32=225 \) 4. **Step 3:** Calculate grand mean \( \bar{Y} = \frac{T}{N} = \frac{225}{12} = 18.75 \). 5. **Step 4:** Compute sum of squares total (SST), treatments (SSTr), blocks (SSBl), and error (SSE). \[ SST = \sum Y_{ij}^2 - \frac{T^2}{N} = (13^2+22^2+\ldots+22^2) - \frac{225^2}{12} \] Calculate individual squares sum: \[ =169+484+324+1521+256+576+289+1936+25+16+1+484=7075 \] So, \[ SST=7075 - \frac{225^2}{12} = 7075 - \frac{50625}{12} = 7075 - 4220.83 = 2854.17 \] 6. **Step 5:** Treatments sum of squares: \[ SSTr = \frac{S_1^2 + S_2^2 + S_3^2}{4} - \frac{T^2}{12} = \frac{92^2 +101^2 + 32^2}{4} - \frac{225^2}{12} = \frac{8464 +10201 + 1024}{4} - 4220.83 = \frac{19689}{4} - 4220.83 = 4922.25 - 4220.83 = 701.42 \] 7. **Step 6:** Blocks sum of squares: \[ SSBl = \frac{B_1^2 + B_2^2 + B_3^2 + B_4^2}{3} - \frac{T^2}{12} = \frac{34^2 + 50^2 + 36^2 + 105^2}{3} - 4220.83 = \frac{1156 + 2500 + 1296 + 11025}{3} - 4220.83 = \frac{16077}{3} - 4220.83 = 5359 - 4220.83 = 1138.17 \] 8. **Step 7:** Error sum of squares: \[ SSE = SST - SSTr - SSBl = 2854.17 - 701.42 - 1138.17 = 1014.58 \] 9. **Step 8:** Compute degrees of freedom: - Total: 11 (12-1) - Treatments: 2 (3-1) - Blocks: 3 (4-1) - Error: 6 (11-2-3) 10. **Step 9:** Mean squares: \[ MSTr = \frac{701.42}{2} = 350.71, \quad MSBl = \frac{1138.17}{3} = 379.39, \quad MSE = \frac{1014.58}{6} = 169.10 \] 11. **Step 10:** F-tests for treatments and blocks: \[ F_{treat} = \frac{MSTr}{MSE} = \frac{350.71}{169.10} = 2.07, \quad F_{block} = \frac{379.39}{169.10} = 2.24 \] 12. **Step 11:** From F-distribution tables with df1 =2, df2=6 at 0.05 level critical value approx 5.14. 13. **Step 12:** Decisions: Both calculated F-values are less than 5.14, so fail to reject null hypotheses for treatment and block effects. 14. **Conclusion:** There is no statistically significant difference among the three washing solutions with blocking by days. --- Repeat the same detailed ANOVA-based analysis (including sums of squares, df, mean squares, F-values, critical values, interpretations) for problems 2, 3, and 4 using the Latin square and Graeco-Latin square designs respectively, controlling for batch/day, operator/order effects, and additional workplace factors, at \(\alpha=0.05\). Present calculations and conclusions. **2. Latin square design for ingredients affecting chemical reaction time:** Set factors: Ingredient (A-E), Day (1-5), Batch (1-5). Test if ingredient affects reaction time controlling for day and batch. Calculate total sum of squares, sum of squares for ingredients, days, batches, error, degrees of freedom, mean squares, and F-tests. Compare F-values to critical value (~3.48 for df=4 and 16 at 0.05 level). Conclude significance of ingredient effect. **3. Latin square design for assembly methods:** Four methods (A-D), four operators, order of assembly controlling for fatigue effect. Conduct ANOVA to test method effect, controlling for operator and order. Use similar steps and F-tests. **4. Graeco-Latin square design:** Four methods, operators, plus workplace factor (α, β, γ, δ). Conduct four-factor ANOVA to test method effect and other factors. Present sums of squares, degrees of freedom, F-tests. Conclude if methods or workplace significantly affect assembly times. *Due to length limits, please request detailed computations and conclusions for each problem individually if needed.*
