Single
Factor: Completely Randomized Design (CRD):
The simplest of all Designs having a random arrangement is the "Completely
Randomized Design" . It assumes the complete homogeneity of the
experimental material.
Examples: Laboratory studies, Green house and Pot culture experiments,
animal feeding experiments, Soil moisture and related studies etc.
Exercise: The percentage moisture content is determined for ten
samples for each of four different soils. Calculate the analysis
of variance to obtain an estimate of the sampling variation within
a soil and hence calculate the standard error of the mean moisture
content of a soil and the standard error of a difference between
two such means. Test the hypothesis that there is no variation of
soil moisture content between different soils and summarize briefly
the conclusions to be drawn from this data
(Table value of t for 36 df at 5% level of significance = 2.034,
1% level of significance = 3.599.)

Hints:
a) Analysis of Variance
- Enter the data from A1 cell to D11 Cell (The first row contains
headings on Soil types)
-
Click left mouse button on Tools > Data Analysis > Anova Single
Factor > click on OK
-
Type in the input range box A1:D11 & Click in the Lables in First
Row Box
The Dialog Box Looks like as follows:

- Click on OK button
To
see the contents of the first column clearly
-Select Column A by clicking > Format >Column >Autofit selection
The
hypotheses that "there is no variation of soil moisture content
between different soils" can be tested by comparing F-Value with
F-Critical Value
Standard
error of mean = Ös /r = s /10
The
estimate of standard error of a difference = Ö2s /r = Ö2s /10
Coefficient of Variation % = (standard deviation(s) /mean)*100 CD(55%)
= (t (.05) at 36 df ) (SEd)
Randomized
Block design
The
following data represent the yield of soyabean plants for five treatments
grown in six randomized complete blocks. The experiment was conducted
in the greenhouse. The five treatments are 20,40,60,80,100 ppm of
nitrogen.
