A particular county employs three assessors who are responsible for determining the value of residential property in the county. To see whether these assessors differ systematically in their assessments, 5 houses are selected, and each assessor is asked to determine the market value of each house. With factor A denoting assessors and factor B denoting houses , suppose and

.

b. Explain why a randomized block experiment with only 5 houses was used rather than a one-way ANOVA experiment involving a total of 15 different houses, with each assessor asked to assess 5 different houses (a different group of 5 for each assessor).
