byx = Zxy error / Xx2 error = 67.78 / 1066 = 0.0636 Step 7. The adjusted mean treatment values are calculated as follows: Yi = Yi byx(Xi X) As an example, for cultivar 1, the adjusted mean treatment value is: Y = Y byx(X X) = (19.43 / 4) 0.0636[(241 / 4) (1310 / 24)] = 4.8587 0.0636 (60.25 54.58) = 4.4981 and for cultivar 2, 2 = Y2 byx(X2 X) = 14.78 / 4 0.0636[(219 / 4) (1310 / 24)] = 3.695 0.0636(54.75 54.58) = 3.684 Step 8. Comparison of adjusted treatment (cultivar) means is made individually for each pair of adjusted means since the value of Sd is different for each comparison. Comparison of cultivars 1 and 2: Sd(l,2)2 = (MSE){(2 / b) + [(xl-x2)2 / x2error]} = 0.43 {(2 / 4) + [(60.25 54.75)2 / 1066]} = 0.2272 Sd(l,2) = (0.2272)1/2 = 0.4767 where b = number of blocks, and the calculated t value comes from: tc(l,2) = (Y1 Y2) / Sd(1,2) = (4.4896 3.6844) / 0.4767 = 1.6891 and since tl4df,.05 = 2.145, then tc = 1.6891 N.S.,
