Briefly describe an "experiment" for a crop (plant) in which there are two different "treatments" that may, or may not, affect the values of a continuous measurement Y. Define Y in concrete terms.

In what sense is comparing average results for Yof practical significance in your experiment?

In what sense is comparing average results for Yof mathematical conveniencein your experiment?

How can you compare the results for Y between the two treatments? Include reference to exploratory charts, summary statistics tables and a formal hypothesis test.

How can you plan for the sample size required to tell a meaningful difference between Y for treatment one versus the Y from treatment two? Put your answer in the context of a hypothesis test.

What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doubling your experiment's sample size?

Describe the hypothetical population to which your research is aimed. In what sense would your experiment's results be relevant to this population?Reference decisions, predictions you might make and what future studies might be required.
