A new fertilizer was developed to increase crop yields by 5 bu.acre-1 over that of an old fertilizer. Crops were grown in 9 pairs of test plots with each pair of plots selected for identical environmental conditions. Analyze and interpret the data (units, bu.acre-1).

A crop scientist evaluating lettuce yields plants 20 plots, treats them with a new fertilizer, lets the lettuce grow, and then measures yield in numbers of heads per plot, with these results: 145, 142, 144, 141, 142, 155, 143, 157, 152, 143, 103, 151, 150, 148, 150, 162, 149, 158, 144, 151 The scientist is interested in testing whether the lettuce data are compatible with a population median of 150, or rather are strong evidence of a median less than...

A new fertilizer has been developed to increase the yield on crops, and the makers of the fertilizer want to better understand which of the two blends of this fertilizer are most effective for wheat, corn, and soy beans crops. They test each of the two blends on one sample of each of the three types of crops. Inner Totals in () Figure 1 – Data for Example 1 Type of Crop Blend Wheat Corn Soy Total Blend X 33...

Crop yields per acre depend on many variables, but two obvious ones are fertilizer and weed control. In an effort to test the effects of various levels of fertilizer and of herbicide, researchers selected six plots of land and subdivided each into eight pieces. Each of the eight pieces of each plot was treated with one of the eight combinations of fertilizer (none, light, moderate, heavy) and herbicide (none, some). The per acre yields of each piece of land are...

1. An investigator has developed a new fertilizer for a certain species of plant. They are interested in determining if the fertilizer has an effect on the height (inches) of the plants. They conduct an experiment where a random sample of 15 plants are given the fertilizer and 15 random plants are given water to serve as a control.

Suppose that 50% of the 60 farms in Region 1 use fertilizer on their soybean crop but only 40% of the 40 farms in Region 2 fertilize their soybeans. Is the percentage of farms fertilizing their soybean crop significantly lower in Region 2 as opposed to Region 1? Conduct a hypothesis test at a = 0.10 significance level and construct the corresponding confidence interval to support your analysis.

This dataset contains two variables: fertilizer type (1, 2, or 3) and crop yield per square foot. Using ANOVA, test the null hypothesis that the three fertilizers are equally effective. Hint: Notice that the data are arranged in what's called a "long" format (one long column of data). To you ANOVA, you first need to rearrange the data into three columns. 1. What is the value of the F-statistic? Answer 2. What is the p-value that the three means are...

A soil scientist has just developed a new type of fertilizer and she wants to determine whether it helps carrots grow larger. She sets up several pots of soil and plants one carrot seed in each pot. Fertilizer is added to half the pots. All the pots are placed in a temperature-controlled greenhouse where they receive adequate light and equal amounts of water. After two months of growth, the scientist harvests the carrots and weighs them (in kilograms). Below is...
