A housewife wanted to know which soil is best for her pechay plants: the soil purchased from an online seller, soil from her backyard compost or the soil underneath the nearby bamboo tree. She planted 30 pechay seeds into each soil source and then compared the growth of pechay after a month. Identify the independent, dependent and extraeous variable.

A manufacturer of paper used for making grocery bags is interested in improving the tensile strength of the product. Product engineering thinks that tensile strength is a function of the hard-wood concentration in the pulp and that the range of hardwood concentrations of practical interest is between 5 and 20%. A team of engineers responsible for the study decides to investigate four levels of hardwood concentration: 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. They decide to make up six test specimens at each concentration level, using a pilot plant. Using the data given below: a. Complete the ANOVA table. b. At 0.05 significance level, test whether there is a difference in mean tensile strength based on Hardwood Concentration.
