Question

A two-factor factorial experiment is conducted to compare litter sizes of Yorkshire and Landrace sows derived either from a line unselected for litter size or from a line that has gone through 15 years of selection for increased litter size. Two sows of each breed are randomly selected from each line. Their litter sizes are as follows:

Yorkshire Landrace   

Unselected line 8 9

   9    10

Selected line 11    11

   10    9

The partially completed ANOVA table is as follows:

Source df SS    MS    F

Total                              7.875

Line                               3.125            3.125    3.57

Breed

Line x Breed

Error                              3.500            0.875

Calculate the sums of squares for the line x breed interaction.

Frame score in beef cattle is based on height at the hips and is used as a measure of skeletal size. Frame scores range from 1 to 10 with a higher number indicating a taller animal. Independent random samples of frame scores were selected from the Angus and Simmental breeds of beef cattle with the following results:

Calculate the Error Sum of Squares.

77

Explanation / Answer

1) below is ANOVA table from above data

sums of squares for the line xbreed interaction =1.125

2)

from above data below is ANOVA table:

Error Sum of Squares = 6.0

source df SS MS F total 7 7.875 line 1 3.125 3.125 3.57 breed 1 0.125 0.125 0.1428 line*breed 1 1.125 1.125 1.2852 error 3 3.50 0.875
