Small Notes :
a) Homogeneous
EG: I took sample water from lake at 5 different points, mix the 5 samples together and carry
out the experiment with the mix samples. The samples I used are homogeneous. (Complete
Randomized)
b) Heterogeneous
EG : I took sample water from lake at 5 different points, do not mix the 5 samples together and
carry out the experiment. (Block Design)
c) Complete Randomized Design
Only one source used throughout the experiment ( Homogeneous).
EG: I use one 500ml of H2O until the experiment finish.
