Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate \( SS_{AB} \)

To find the interaction sum of squares \( SS_{AB} \), we use the formula:

\[ SS_{AB} = SS_T - (SS_A + SS_B + SS_E) \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ SS_{AB} = 620 - (110 + 120 + 270) = 620 - 500 = 120 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ \boxed{SS_{AB} = 120} \]

Step 2: Calculate Mean Square for Factor A (\( MS_A \))

The mean square for factor A is calculated using the formula:

\[ MS_A = \frac{SS_A}{df_A} \]

Where \( df_A = 2 \) (degrees of freedom for factor A). Substituting the values:

\[ MS_A = \frac{110}{2} = 55.0 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ \boxed{MS_A = 55.0} \]

Step 3: Calculate Mean Square for Factor B (\( MS_B \))

The mean square for factor B is calculated using the formula:

\[ MS_B = \frac{SS_B}{df_B} \]

Where \( df_B = 2 \) (degrees of freedom for factor B). Substituting the values:

\[ MS_B = \frac{120}{2} = 60.0 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ \boxed{MS_B = 60.0} \]

Final Answer

  • \( SS_{AB} = 120 \)
  • \( MS_A = 55.0 \)
  • \( MS_B = 60.0 \)

The final boxed answers are:

\[ \boxed{SS_{AB} = 120} \] \[ \boxed{MS_A = 55.0} \] \[ \boxed{MS_B = 60.0} \]
