ASSIGNMENT 2
QUESTION 1
To address the zoologist's study of the gains in weight of male rats
under the specified feeding treatments, we will follow the outlined
tasks step-by-step.
1.1 List out the six treatments and name the factorial experiment
The six treatments can be identified by combining the factors of
sources of protein and the amount of protein.
Treatments:
1. Beef, High protein
2. Cereal, High protein
3. Pork, High protein
4. Beef, Low protein
5. Cereal, Low protein
6. Pork, Low protein
Factorial Experiment:
This is a 2x3 Factorial Experiment:
- Factor A (Sources of Protein): 3 levels (Beef, Cereal, Pork)
- Factor B (Amount of Protein): 2 levels (High, Low)
1.2 Compute the ANOVA
Given the data, we need to compute the ANOVA to analyze the
variance among the treatments. The following components will be
calculated:
Step 1: Organize the Data
- Group data based on treatments.
