(2 Marks) b) An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of v=4 chemical substance on the skin of male rats. The area of experimentation on animal skin was confined to a region which was known to be relatively homogerous but this restricted the experimenter to 2 experimental units per animal. Hence to estimate the rat to rat variability for two comparison of treatments the experiment was divided into blocks on rats using the BIBD shown below. The blocks correspond to 6 rats. Do the data present sufficient evidence to indicate a real difference in the effect of chemical substance on the skin? Use = 0.05 level of significance. (10 Marks)
