1.00 – 4.00

 

SECTION – A

 

Answer ALL the questions                                                                          (10 ´ 2 = 20 marks)

 

  1. Define orthogonal contrasts with an example.
  2. State Cochran’s theorem
  3. Briefly explain the term ‘Local control’.
  4. Give the missing value formula for the RBD with one missing observation.
  5. Explain orthogonal Latin Square Design.
  6. Give any two differences between RBD and LSD.
  7. State any two advantages of factorial design.
  8. Define a symmetric BIBD.
  9. Explain Experimental unit and Treatments.
  10. Define Affine Resolvable Design.

 

SECTION – B

 

Answer any FIVE questions                                                                        (5 ´ 8 = 40 marks)

 

  1. Explain the difference between ‘Randomization’ and ‘Replication’ with a suitable example.
  2. In CRD, show that , with usual notations.
  3. Develop in detail the analysis of variance of Randomised block design.
  4. Explain the concept of ANOVA. When do you perform critical difference?
  5. Complete the following table
Source of Variance d.f. Sum of Squares Mean Sum of Squares F-ratio
Columns 5
Rows 4.20
Treatments 2.43
Error 0.65
Total 39.65

The columns as representing schools, the row as classes, the treatments as methods of

teaching Spelling and the observations as grades based on 100 points.  Test the hypothesis

that the treatment effects are equal to zero, showing all steps in the general procedure.

  1. Distinguish between ‘complete confounding’ and ‘partial confounding’
  2. Explain YATE’S method of computing the sum of squares due to main effects and interaction effects in the case of 22 factorial design.
  3. State and prove the parametric conditions of a BIBD.

 

SECTION – C

 

Answer any TWO questions                                                                       (2 ´ 20 = 40 marks)

 

  1. a) Estimate a single missing observation in LSD.
  2. b) Develop the analysis of variance in the case of LSD. when one observation is missing

in the design.                                                                                                           (8+12)

 

  1. a) Derive the analysis of two-way classification with m-observations per cell by stating

all the effects, ANOVA  and conclusion.                                                                   (12)

  1. b) Consider the results given in the following table for an experiment involving six

treatments in four randomised blocks. The treatments are indicated by numbers within

parentheses.
