Question 1

A local consumer reporter wants to compare the average costs of grocery items purchased at three different supermarkets, A, B, and C. Prices (in dollars) were recorded for a sample of 60 randomly selected grocery items at each of the three supermarkets. In order to reduce item-to-item variation, the prices were recorded for each item on the same day at each supermarket.

Identify the blocks for this experiment.
◦ the day on which the data were collected
◦ the 60 × 3 = 180 prices
◦ the three supermarkets
◦ the 60 grocery items
