An experiment is conducted to determine the breaking strength of a certain alloy containing five metals, A, B, C, D, and E. Two different percentages of each metal are used in forming the 25 = 32 different alloys. Since only eight alloys can be tested on a given day, the experiment is conducted over a period of 4 days during which the ABDE and the AE effects were confounded with days. The experimental data are given here.(a) Set up the blocking scheme for the 4 days.(b) What additional effect is confounded with days?(c) Obtain the sums of squares for all maineffects.
