Blocking is a method used in ANOVA for eliminating some of the nuisance variables. Randomnization is a method used to reduce the contaminating effects caused by those variables.
In ANOVA, a factor is said to be fixed when the investigator controls the levels of the factor. Some of the fixed factors are noise, time and dia factors.
So, randomnization blocking helps to reduce the sensitivity of anova to fixed factors
The statement is true.

please help with problem 6 (all 3 parts)
especially part c!
i am struggling more with finding the blocks, but understand the
confounded effects using mod 2 multiplication.
6. Suppose that we are conducting a 2° facto- rial design, with factors A, B, C, D, E, F, and have to run the experiment in four blocks. a. How many treatment combinations will be in each block? It is decided to confound the effects ABCE and ABDF b. What (third) effect...

6. (3 pts) A randomized clinical trial was conducted in Indonesia to study the effects of Vitamin A in preventing deaths among children with measles. The investigators reported a relative risk of 0.60 for the intervention versus control group. This means that A) Children receiving Vitamin A were 40% less likely to die from measles than children receiving placebo, therefore Vitamin A was protective B) The chance of dying from measles in the placebo group was 60% C) 60% of...
Question text Statistical evidence shows that Select one: tax rates reduce smoking and demand is generally highly elastic. any of these could be true. tax rates reduce smoking but demand is generally inelastic. tax rates have no effect on smoking patterns because addicts do not respond to price incentives.
Question 3 (33 pts.) ichael is a health economics student interested in estimating the effect of health insurance coverage D, on the number of doctor visits n by estimating the population regression function (PRF) Y- + B2Di+ u by using the sample reported in Table 2. Enrollment in a health insurance plan is voluntary. nok Table 2 7 72 Michael has heard that observational studies produce blased results, while randomized experiments deliver the causal effect if an exhaustive set of...
Question 6 4 pts The following data concerns a randomized controlled trial. Two groups of 100 men with systolic blood pressure in the 120 to 130 range and diastolic blood pressure in the 80 to 90 range are treated to reduce the “pre-hypertensive” state. The men are in the age range 30 to 40 years. The control group 1 is given placebo and the experimental group 2 is given a treatment.to reduce blood pressure. Assume the standard deviations are equal...

> Question 9 3 pts In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of children, echinacea was tested as a treatment for upper respiratory infections in children. "Days of fever" was one criterion used to measure effects. Among 337 children treated with echinacea, the mean number of days with fever was 0.81, with a standard deviation of 1.50 days. Among 370 children given a placebo, the mean number of days with fever was 0.64 with a standard deviation of 1.16 days. Assuming...
Question 3 5 pts Which of the following is true about the sensitivity analysis for integer optimization problems? To determine the sensitivity of the solution to changes in model inputs for integer optimization problems, the data must be changed and the problem must be re-solved. The sensitivity analysis is not important for integer problems. Sensitivity reports are readily available for integer optimization problems similar to the linear programming problems. Because of the discrete nature of the integer optimization, Excel Solver...
