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?
