Chapter 10, Problem AP3.11CPT

To determine

The correct statement.

1. This is an observation study because the researches are watching the corn grow.
2. This is randomized block design with field as blocks and seed types as treatments.
3. This is randomized block design with seed types as blocks and fields as treatments.
4. This is completely randomized design because the six seed types were randomly assigned to the fur fields.
5. This is a completely randomized design with 24 treatments 6 seed types and 4 fields.

Answer to Problem AP3.11CPT

The correct option is (b)this is randomized block design with field as blocks and seed types as treatments.

Explanation of Solution

The treatments assigned to the corn is the different and it has varieties also. Thus the study is then an experiment and it is not the observational study.

Besides there are different fields also that are affected by the climate and soil conditions also. Which all then use as the blocks and thus have the randomized block experiments.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is (b)this is randomized block design with field as blocks and seed types as treatments
