**Title: The Role of Lizards in Seed Germination: An ANOVA Analysis****Introduction:**Research conducted in South Africa examined whether lizards play a crucial role in the dispersal and germination of plant seeds. A study gathered 400 seeds of a particular type, with 100 seeds subjected to each of four different treatments: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrax dung, and uneaten figs. The seeds were planted in batches of 5, and seed germination was observed for each treatment, resulting in 20 observations per treatment. **Data Summary:**- **Uneaten figs:** Mean = 2.50, Standard Deviation = 0.29- **Lizard dung:** Mean = 2.40, Standard Deviation = 0.32- **Bird dung:** Mean = 1.80, Standard Deviation = 0.25- **Hyrax dung:** Mean = 1.40, Standard Deviation = 0.23**ANOVA Analysis (Part a):**The goal is to test if there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of seeds germinating among the four treatments using ANOVA at a 0.05 significance level.1. **Hypotheses:** - **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** The means of all treatments are equal (μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄). - **Alternative Hypotheses:** - All four means are different. - At least one treatment has a different mean from the others. - Various combinations of differing means.2. **ANOVA Table Structure:** - **Source of Variation:** Between Groups and Within Group - **Degrees of Freedom, Sum of Squares, Mean Squares, F Ratio, F Prob:** These fields are set up to input calculated values to conduct ANOVA.**Conclusion for Part a:**- The conclusion is based on whether the calculated F statistic and P-value support the rejection of the null hypothesis, indicating significant differences in germination means.**Statistical Significance Testing (Part b):**The study further investigates if seeds excreted by lizards have a higher germination rate than those excreted by birds using a T-K confidence interval with a critical value of q = 3.72.1. **Hypothesis:** - Evidence is sought to determine whether seeds excreted

Do lizards play a role in spreading plant seeds? Some research carried out in South Africa would suggest so. Researchers on a study collected 400 seeds of a particular type of fig, 100 of which were from each treatment: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrax dung, and uneaten figs. They planted these seeds in batches of 5, and for each group of 5 they recorded how many of the seeds germinated. This resulted in 20 observations for each treatment. The treatment means and standard deviations are given in the accompanying table.

Study 1: A study was conducted using a sample of 200 customers of a large department store. As each customer left the store, they were asked their age and how long they had spent in the store. Their ages were classified into three groups, under 25 years, 25 to 40 years and over 40 years. The study found that younger customers generally spend less time in the store. Study 2: Research suggests that people may be able to endure pain and discomfort better in the afternoon than in the morning. A dental researcher conducted a study by taking a random sample of 100 patients who had undergone similar treatment. Whether the patient received treatment in the morning or afternoon was recorded and then each patient was interviewed and a pain and discomfort tolerance score was assessed for them.

Highway Signs. A driver’s ability to detect highway signs is an important consideration in highway safety. In his dissertation Highway Construction Safety and the Aging Driver (1994), Solomon Younes investigated the distance at which drivers can first detect highway caution signs. This distance is called the detection distance. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects that sign size and sign material have on detection distance. Four drivers were randomly selected for each combination of sign size (small, medium, and large), and sign material (1, 2, and 3). Each driver covered the same stretch of highway at a constant speed during the same time of day, and the detection distance (in feet) was determined for the driver’s assigned caution sign. The data in the following table are based on the results of the experiment. a. the response variable b. the factors c. the levels of each factor d. the number of treatment combinations e. the experimental units f. the number of…

The customer service department of a phone company is experimenting with two different systems. On Monday they try the first system which is based on an automated menu system. On Tuesday they try the second system in which each caller is immediately connected with a live agent. A quality control manager selects a sample of seven calls each day. He records the time for each customer to have his or her question answered. The times (in minutes) are listed below. Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two sets of data, then compare the variation. Round results to one decimal place.

A gym manager is interested in whether the ‘beginner’ and ‘expert’ climbing walls (that were of the same height) at her facility are actually different from each other. To test this, she decides to look at the time it takes people to reach the top of both walls. She recruits 25 students and has them each climb both walls and looks for differences between the ‘beginner’ wall climbing times and the ‘expert’ wall climbing times. Select one: a. single sample t-test b. one-way ANOVA c. paired samples t-test d. z-test e. factorial ANOVA f. t-test independent means
