Chapter C.5, Problem 96E
In each of Exercises C.91–C.97, identify the following:
- a. the treatment factor
- b. the blocking factor
- c. the levels of each factor
- d. the number of treatments
- e. the number of blocks
- f. the experimental units
- g. the experimental factors, if any

C.96 Golf Ball Driving Distances. A writer for a sports magazine wants to compare the mean driving distances of five brands of golf balls. A randomized block design is employed. Four golf professionals are selected, and each golfer drives all five brands of balls in a random order. Here are the results, in yards.

A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in
different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the
stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period.
