The F-test of the randomized block design of the analysis of variance has the same requirements as the independent samples design; that is,the random variable must be normally distributed and the population variances must be equal.

F-test

A statistical test used to compare either two variances or the variances of more than two groups at the same time.

Independent Samples Design

A research design in which different groups of participants are exposed to different treatments or conditions, and their outcomes are compared to inspect the effects of the treatment.

  • Understand the requirements for the F-test in the context of ANOVA and randomized block designs.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
The F-test in both the randomized block design and the independent samples design of analysis of variance requires that the data be normally distributed and that the population variances (homogeneity of variances) are equal for the validity of the test results.
