Assume that we conduct an experiment using a randomized block design to determine the influence of 4 different diets on the weights of bison. We group the bison into 10 blocks, where the bison within each of the 10 blocks have similar weights. The partially completed Analysis of Variance table is shown below. Source df SS MS F Total 39 15,919.2 Diet 3 3,298.7 Block 9 12,073.9 Error 27 546.6 Calculate the mean squares for diets (i.e., treatments).
