Question 5

A researcher is undertaking an early stage investigation into the possible effect of a food additive on the weight of rats. The additive is a “designer” chemical aimed at increasing growth rate. Data from the experiment are contained in the file STA201 201960 Assignment 2 Rat Diets.xlsx. (a) Show the data in a structure that allows it to be readily analysed using R Commander. (1 mark) (b) The researcher intends to determine if there is evidence that the additive has increased the weight of rats. State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses in this instance. (c) Show the output when R Commander is used to undertake the relevant Welsch two sample t test, using a 5% level of significance. (d) Clearly state the conclusion for the test and justify this by referencing a value or values from the R Commander output. (e) State the statistical assumptions underlying Welch’s two sample t test. (f) Say if it would have been appropriate here to use the paired t test and justify your decision.
