Chemist Ellen has developed four different types of fertilizers for trees. She used the fertilizer to water trees, six trees for each type of fertilizer, for a period of time and then measured how much the trees had grown and recorded. Ellen decided to use a variance analysis to check whether the average growth of the trees differs according to fertilizer and started filling in the following variance sum table but did not manage to complete: Fervic sum Degrees Average fervic sum Between groups 212 Within groups Whole 325 Ellen confirmed that the distribution within each group was similar. Ellen used α = 0.05. a) Complete the filler fervic table above. b) Examine with an appropriate hypothesis test whether there is a difference in the average height increase of the trees depending on which fertilizer was used. Show all six steps.
