Statistics question, please show work 4. Students are designing an experiment to compare the productivity of two varieties of dwarf fruit trees. The sitefor the experiment is a field that is bordered by a densely forested area on the west (left) side. The field has beendivided into eight plots of approximately the same area. The students have decided that the test plots should beblocked. Four trees, two of each of the two varieties, will be assigned at random to the four plots within eachblock, with one tree planted in each plot.The two blocking schemes shown below are under consideration. For each scheme, one block is indicated by thewhite region and the other block is indicated by the gray region in the figures.Blocking Scheme AКeyForestBlock 1Block 2Blocking Scheme BForest(a) Which of the blocking schemes, A or B, is better for this experiment? Explain your answer.(b) Even though the students have decided to block, they must randomly assign the varieties of trees to theplots within each block. What is the purpose of this randomization in the context of this experiment?
