The MS (Mean Square) Error is calculated by dividing the SS (Sum of Squares) Error by its degrees of freedom (df). Given SS Error = 360 and Total df = 16, we need to find the df for Error. The df for Treatment is given as 4, so df for Error = Total df - Treatment df = 16 - 4 = 12. Therefore, MS Error = SS Error / df Error = 360 / 12 = 30.
