Suppose you are designing a study in order to determine whether there is a difference in mean response between the various levels of the main factor (Factor A). You believe that Factor B will contribute considerable variability to the response and you are thinking about incorporating it into the design. Discuss the advantages and/or disadvantages if you incorporate Factor B into the design as a blocking vari- able and: (a) (5 points) Factor B contributes significant variability to the response. (b) (5 points) Factor B does not contributes significant variability to the response.
