1. A poultry scientist was studying various dietary additives to increase the rate at which chickens gain weight.
One of the potential additives was studied by creating a new diet which consisted of a standard basal diet
supplemented with varying amounts of the additive (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100). There were sixty chicks available
for the study. Each of the six diets was randomly assigned to ten chicks. At the end of four weeks, the feed
efficiency ratio, feed consumed (gm) to weight gain (gm), was obtained for the sixty chicks. An analysis of
variance table is presented below with the estimated coefficients for the corresponding linear model.

and C) and 5 replicates of each. Here are some sums of squares (SSq)
and F tests for some contrasts:
A versus B
SSq = 22.5
F = 4.5
B versus C
SSq = 202.5 F = 40.5
A vs. avg. of B,C
SSq = 187.5 F = ____
C vs. avg. of A,B
SSq = _____
(A) Compute the treatment sum of squares.
(B) Fill in blanks
