TABLE 11-10 An Agronomist Wants to Compare the Crop Yield of 3

Multiple Choice

TABLE 11-10
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds.She plants all 3 varieties of the seeds on each of 5 different patches of fields.She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre.Treating this as a randomized block design,the results are presented in the table that follows.
-Referring to Table 11-10,the null hypothesis for the randomized block F test for the difference in the means is

A) H₀ : μ_Field1 = μ_Field2 = μ_Field3 = μ_Field4 = μ_Field5
B) H₀ : μ_Smith = μ_Walsh = μ_Trevor
C) H₀ : M_Field1 = M_Field2 = M_Field3 = M_Field4 = M_Field5
D) H₀ : M_Smith = M_Walsh = M_Trevor
