Then the degrees of freedom (d.f.) are estimated for each source of variation, considering four replications (r = 4) and 15 treatments (t = 15). With this information, calculate mean squares by dividing the sum of squares for each source of variation by its corresponding degrees of freedom: MSB = SSB / (r-l) = 1.109 / 3 = 0.3697 MST = SST / (t-l) = 8.250 / 14 = 0.5893 MSE = SSE / [(r-l)(t-l)] = 11.021 / 42 = 0.2624 Now calculate F values (Fc) by dividing the MS of the sources of variation by the MS of the error. Fc (blocks) = MSB / MSE = 0.3697 / 0.2624 = 1.4089 Fc treatments = MST / MSE = 0.5893 / 0.2624 = 2.2458 The coefficient of variation of the experiment is calculated from the square root of the MSE, and the general mean of all observations: CV = [(MSE)1/2 / x](100) = [(0.2624)1/2 / 4.42](100) = 11.59 %
