CV = 8.7% ** Significant at 1% level
Based on the Result the ANOVAabove shows that :
1. Block analysis is Highly significant **. The computed F value is higher
than the tabular F value It means that the yield from the different
blocks differed significantly. Block analysis is no longer included in
the manuscript.
2. If the block analysis is not significant will it not affect the findings of
the study? Is there a need to repeat the experiment? NO, THE
RESULT MAY STILL BECONSIDERED DEPENDING ON THE SIZE
OF THE CV( Coefficient of Variance)
3. The Computed F Value is greater than the tabular F value at 1%
level…..this implies that the difference between two or more treatment
means is significantly different from each other at 1% level.
