Textbook Question
Chapter 15.8, Problem 40E
A serious drought-related problem for farmers is the spread of aflatoxin, a highly toxic substance caused by mold, which contaminates field corn. In higher levels of contamination, aflatoxin is hazardous to animal and possibly human health. (Officials of the FDA have set a maximum limit of 20 parts per billion aflatoxin as safe for interstate marketing.) Three sprays, A, B, and C, have been developed to control aflatoxin in field corn. To determine whether differences exist among the sprays, ten ears of corn are randomly chosen from a contaminated corn field, and each is divided into three pieces of equal size. The sprays are then randomly assigned to the pieces for each ear of corn, thus setting up a randomized block design. The accompanying table gives the amount (in parts per billion) of aflatoxin present in the corn samples after spraying. Use the Friedman test based on Fr to determine whether there are differences among the sprays for control of aflatoxin. Give approximate bounds for the p-value.
