Completely Randomized Design (CRD)

Completely randomized design is the simplest type of experimental design . The reasons behind the use of a completely randomized design are as follows:

  1. The experimental unit used is homogeneous or there are no other factors that affect the response outside of the factors being tried or studied.
  2. External factors that can affect the experiment can be controlled. For example, an experiment conducted in a laboratory.

Because of the things mentioned above, completely randomized designs are usually found in laboratories or greenhouses.

This article is a continuation of Completely Randomized Design Material .  The following is an example of a Completely Randomized Design case with Equal Replication.

In this case example, the same case example is used again with the example in total variance decomposition. It's just that, using a slightly different calculation step. The following are the results of estrogen testing of several solutions that have undergone certain treatments. Uterine weight of rats was used as a measure of estrogen activity. Uterine weights in milligrams of four mice for each control and six different solutions are listed in the following table.
