Table 2: Anova of Block


It seems that the Anova of block of between group and within groups in district, state, national & international levels men Volleyball (2014-15). It seems that the between group, sum of squares was 8.240, degree of frequency (df) was 3, mean square was 2.747 and within groups, sum of square was 8.729, degree of frequency (df) was 8, mean square was 1.091 and total sum of squares was 16.970, total degree of frequency (df) was 11. The between and within groups of F-ratio was 2.517 and significant level was 0.132 so, the spike of between and within groups not significant at 0.05 levels.
