Problem 7.12

Consider the potting experiment in Problem 6.21. Analyze the data considering each replicate as a block.

Let us consider the following norms:

Length of Putter : 10 ft = -1, 30 ft = 1

Type of Putter: mallet = 1, cavity-back = -1

Break of Putt: straight = -1, breaking = 1

Slope of Putt: level = -1, downhill = 1

Entering the data

We will reject the null hypothesis in this case because all the p values are greater than alpha 0.05 except A, B which are not significant.

We will now try using two significant effects
