Question

How many degrees of freedom will the error have in a randomized block design with five treatments and three blocks?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Degree of freedom is expressed according to the formula as shown;

Degree of freedom = Sample size (Treatments) - number of parameters(Block)

Given

Number of treatments = 5

Number of blocks = 3

Degree of freedom = 5 - 3

Degree of freedom = 2

Hence the error will have 2 degrees of freedom in the randomized block design.
