15.39 A randomized block design is used to compare four treatments in eight blocks.

a. Use the Friedman F, test to detect differences in location among the four treatment distributions. Test using a = 0.05.

b. Find the approximate p-value for the test in part

a. c. Perform an analysis of variance and give the ANOVA table for the analysis.

d. Give the value of the F statistic for testing the equality of the four treatment means.

e. Give the approximate p-value for the F statistic in part

d. f. Compare the p-values for the tests in parts a and

d, and explain the practical implications of the comparison.
