The numerator or MST degrees of freedom are 3 and the denominator or MSE degrees of freedom are 18. The total number of observations in the completely randomized design must equal 20.

MST Degrees of Freedom

Represents the number of independent values or quantities which can be assigned to a statistical distribution minus the number of population parameters estimated simultaneously.

MSE Degrees of Freedom

The number of independent values or quantities that can vary in the calculation of the mean squared error (MSE).

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
In a completely randomized design, the total number of observations equals the sum of the degrees of freedom for MST (Mean Square Treatment) and MSE (Mean Square Error) plus 1. Given MST degrees of freedom are 3 and MSE degrees of freedom are 18, the total number of observations would be 3 + 18 + 1 = 22.
