Abstract: This program computes the potency of an unknown prepa-

ration of an antibiotic from the diameters of inhibition given by three

dilutions of this preparation and three dilutions of a standard prepara-

tion, when the doses are applied in a 6 X 6 Latin square with each dose

occurring once in each row and column. When all 36 diameters have been

entered through the keyboard or one of the readers, the teletype prints

the complete analysis of variance, the potency of the test preparation,

expressed as a percentage of the standard preparation, the fiducial limits

for P = 0.95, and the fiducial interval, expressed as a percentage of the

potency.
