. Create the ANOVA table using the data from this experiment. The total sum of squares in this table is 640.21. Round final values to 2 decimals if necessary. B. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is significant evidence that nitrogen amount in this fertilizer affects soybean yield. In other words, test for a difference in the population mean soybean yield for plots with different nitrogen amounts. Use α = 0.05. Be sure to state the null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, determine the critical value of the test, determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and state a conclusion within the context of the problem. C. Based on your conclusion in Problem B, is it appropriate to perform multiple comparisons of the treatment mean yields? Justify your answer.

![An agricultural research scientist is interested in determining an appropriate amount of nitrogen
for a newly developed soybean fertilizer. This researcher is considering four amounts of nitrogen:
60 lbs/acre, 65 lbs/acre, 70 lbs/acre, and 75 lbs/acre. To investigate this research questions, five
fields (with differing soil types) at different locations in a Midwestern state are selected for a study.
Each field is divided into four plots. For each field, each of the four nitrogen amounts is randomly
assigned to one plot each. Each plot is treated with the fertilizer containing the assigned amount of
nitrogen. After harvest, the soybean yield (in bu/acre) for each plot is determined. Below are the
results of this experiment, with soybean yield reported for each plot. The row and column sample
means are also provided.
