A researcher designs an experiment using two drugs, she prepares 15 independent flasks of yeast growth medium and yeast cells. She adds tunicamycin (T) or caffeine (C) to 5 flasks each. Remaining 5 flasks get no drugs (ND). Doubling time of the yeast cells are measured in each flask, data is provided below: Flask T Flask C Flask ND 1 8.2 6 5.2 11 6 2 6.8 7 6.1 12 5.1 3 8 8 6.2 13 5.6 4 7.6 9 5.7 14 5.2 5 7.9 10 6.3 15 6.1 a. Test if mean doubling time is different in Caffeine (C ) when compared to no drug (ND) using an ANOVA method, report an approximate p-value for the level of significance. b. If a drug decreases the doubling time of yeast cells, what could be the purpose of using this drug?

Question

A researcher designs an experiment using two drugs, she prepares 15 independent flasks of yeast growth medium and yeast cells. She adds tunicamycin (T) or caffeine (C) to 5 flasks each. Remaining 5 flasks get no drugs (ND). Doubling time of the yeast cells are measured in each flask, data is provided below:

Flask T Flask C Flask ND
1 8.2 6 5.2 11 6
2 6.8 7 6.1 12 5.1
3 8 8 6.2 13 5.6
4 7.6 9 5.7 14 5.2
5 7.9 10 6.3 15 6.1

a. Test if mean doubling time is different in Caffeine (C ) when compared to no drug (ND) using an ANOVA method, report an approximate p-value for the level of significance.


b. If a drug decreases the doubling time of yeast cells, what could be the purpose of using this drug?
