ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
b) The number of observations were collected for each factor level combination is
c) Using the formulae shown in the general summary table of two-factor ANOVA, the missing entries are filled in as specified in the following table.
The degrees of freedom for AB is
= 3
The degrees of freedom for Error is
= (8)(2)
= 16
Sum of Squares:
From the given table we have
We have
Similarly we find SSE = 2.4
