The following data (Dobson, 1983) from an experiment providing the dried weight of plants obtained under the condition of a certain treatment is given by 4.65, 4.35, 4.40, 3.59, 5.87, 3.89, 6.02, 4.92, 4.30, 4.23. (A) Find the sample mean, standard deviation (SD) and standard error (SE) of the data. (B) What will happen to SD and SE if you increase the sample size? (C) Determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean dried weight of all plants under this particular condition of a certain treatment. (D) Repeat part (C) using R.

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) Sample mean = = 4.622

Variance = = 0.62032889

Standard Deviation = sqrt ( Variance ) = 0.7876096

(b) If the sample size is increased, then the variability in the sample is
decreased which leads to a decrease in the value of standard deviation and thus,
in the value of standard deviation.

The dataset gives the dried weight in pounds of three groups of 10 batches of plants, where each group of 10 batches received a different treatment. The Weight variable gives the weight of the batch and the Groups variable gives the treatment received. A.) Conduct an analysis of variance to test the hypothesis of no difference in the weights of the plants under different treatments. B.) Plot and analyze the residuals from the study and comment on model adequacy (All...
