494: Which of the following is NOT true in regards to blocking?
A. A block is a dummy factor which doesn’t interact with real factors
B. A blocking factor has 2 levels
C. A block is a subdivision of the experiment
D. Blocks are used to compensate when production processes restrict randomization of runs
Which of the following is NOT true in regards to blocking?
B. A blocking factor has 2 levels
C. A block is a subdivision of the experiment
### true in regarding blocking : option : A.) A block is a dummy factor which doesn’t interact with real factors.
and (D) Blocking is used to compensate when production processes restrict randomization of runs.
I will give one example regarding true in regarding blocking :
for example , assume an experimental factor is a temperature an dis set of 3 levels . if it is very difficult to move the
temperature between the 3 levels the experiment could be blocked into 3 groups . low , medium , and high temperature . Each block of trials would be run together . To compensate for not running the trials in random order , the block is a dummy variable .
so here if we talk about not true regarding blocking is :
B. A blocking factor has 2 levels
C. A block is a subdivision of the experiment
