Correction factor (CF) = (Grand total)2 / n = (98.7)2 / 16 = 608.856 where n = number of observations Total sum of squares (SStot): SStot = E(each observation)2 CF = [(4.3)2 + (4.5)2 +...+ (7.0)2 + (8.8)2] CF = 639.45 608.856 = 30.594 Sum of squares for blocks: SSB = [Z(each block)2 / t] CF = {[(47.3)2 + (51.4)2] / 8} CF = 609.906 608.856 = 1.05 where t = number of treatments The sum of squares for treatments (SST) is calculated in a different manner because the factorial effects have already been calculated (Table III-4). Sum of squares for treatments (7 treatment combinations): SST = E(each factorial effect)2 / n = [(11.1)2 + (8.9)2 + (15.5)2 +...+ (0.1)2 + (1.3)2] / 16 = 28.46 and SSE = SStot (SST + SSB) = 30.594 (28.46 + 1.05) = 1.084
