1. Write True or False: 1x8=8
- With the help of analysis of variance, null hypothesis cannot be tested.
- Randomized Block Design (RBD) is based on all the three basic principles (replication, randomization and local control) of design of experiment.
- Analysis of variance cannot be applied in developing countries like India.
