Questions: Consider a two-factor factorial design with three levels in factor A, three levels in factor B, and four replicates in each of the nine cells. That is, there are two degrees of freedom in determining the factor A variation, two degrees of freedom in determining the factor B variation, four degrees of freedom in determining the interaction variation, and 27 degrees of freedom in determining the random variation. Assume that SSA=110, SSB=120, SSE=270, and SST=620. Answer parts (a) through (d).
a. What is SSAB?
SSAB=120
b. What are MSA and MSB?
MSA =

That is, there are two degrees of freedom in determining the factor A variation, two degrees of freedom in determining the factor B variation, four degrees of freedom in determining the interaction variation, and 27 degrees of freedom in determining the random variation. Assume that $\operatorname{SSA}=110, \mathrm{SSB}=120, \mathrm{SSE}=270$, and SST=620. Answer parts (a) through (d).
a. What is SSAB?
\[
S S A B=120
\]
b. What are MSA and MSB?
MSA =
$\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate \( SS_{AB} \)
To find the interaction sum of squares \( SS_{AB} \), we use the formula:
