Question:
In an experiment on growing sweet peas, a team of students selected 2 factors at 4 levels each and recorded Weight, Stem Length, and Root Length after 6 \ days of growth. They grew plants using various amounts of Water and Quick grow solution, a fertilizer designed to help plants grow faster. Each factor was run at 4 levels: little, some, moderate, and full. They grew 2 plants under each of the 16 conditions.
An interaction plot of Weight in mg (x-axis is Quick growing—levels are water) shows:
Because of this, a two-way ANOVA with interaction model was fit to the data, resulting in the following ANOVA table:
Residuals plots showed no violations of the variance or Normality conditions. A table of effects for Quick grows shows:
Level of Quick Grow | Effect |
Little Some Moderate Full | 213.8 97.1 -155.5 -155.5 |
A table of effects for Water shows:
Level of water | Effect |
Little Some Moderate Full | -91.1 -81.9 66.4 106.0 |
Write a report summarizing what the students have le about the effects of Water and Quick grow solution on the early stages of sweet pea growth as measured by Weight
