A biologist is investigating the effect of potential plant
hormones by treating 20 stem segments. At the end of
the observation period he computes the following length
averages:
Compound X = 1.18
Compound Y = 1.17
Based on these mean values he concludes that there are
no treatment differences.
1) Are you satisfied with his conclusion? Why or why
not?
2) If he asked you for help in analyzing these data, what
statistical method would you suggest that he use to
come to a meaningful conclusion about his data and
why?
3) Are there any other questions you would ask him
regarding his experiment, data collection, and analysis
methods?

- To: [Boss's Name] From: Nathaniel D Sain Date: 4/5/2025 Subject: Decision Analysis for Business Scenario Introduction to the Business Scenario Our delivery services business has been experiencing steady growth, leading to an increased demand for faster and more efficient deliveries. To meet this demand, we must decide on the best strategy to expand our fleet. The three possible alternatives under consideration are purchasing new delivery vehicles, leasing vehicles, or partnering with third-party drivers. The decision must account for various external factors, including fuel price fluctuations, demand stability, and competition growth, which we categorize as the states of nature. Each alternative presents unique advantages and challenges, and our goal is to select the most viable option using a structured decision-making approach.
