- 14.33 A preservative was added to fresh and wilted alfalfa silage (Snedecor 1948). The lactic acid concentration was measured at five periods after ensiling began. There were two replications. The results are given in Table 14.6. Let factor A be condition (fresh or wilted) and factor B be period. Test for main effects and interactions.

- A random sample of 1000 people with known allergies to poison ivy participated in a recent study. Oil from the poison ivy plant was rubbed on a patch of skin. For 500 of the subjects, the oil it was washed off within 5 minutes. For the other 500 subjects, the oil was washed off after 5 minutes. Observed reactions were recorded as "none," "mild," or "strong." The results are summarized in the following table.

A study investigated the impact of echinacea vs. a standard cold medication on cold symptoms. Each subject in the study chose to take either the echinacea or a standard cold medication in capsule form After taking the capsule for one week, the subjects then reported to the researchers the status of their cold symptoms. The researchers subsequently reported that there was no statistically significant difference in the duration of the cold between these groups.

- ch 13. 5: Cincinnati Paint Company sells quality brands of paints through hardware stores throughout the United States. The company maintains a large sales force who call on existing customers and look for new business. The national sales manager is investigating the relationship between the number of sales calls made and the miles driven by the sales representative. Also, do the sales representatives who drive the most miles and make the most calls necessarily earn the most in sales commissions? To investigate, the vice president of sales selected a sample of 25 sales representatives and determined: The amount earned in commissions last month (y) The number of miles driven last month (x1) The number of sales calls made last month (x2) The information is reported below.

Seeber et al. (2020) investigated various aspects of immunological responses in captive and free-ranging zebras. One aspect of the study involved samples of 12 free-ranging zebras from Namibia, 9 from Tanzania, and 38 captive zebras from various zoos in Europe. (All of these were non-lactating females.) One of the measured variables from blood samples was lysozyme concentration (μg/L). (Lysozyme is a biomarker of the immune response.) The researchers were interested in investigating possible differences in lysozyme concentration between zebras in the various locations. As part of the analysis, they carried out a one-way ANOVA on the lysozyme concentrations for the zebras from the 3 locations, and found the following output.

All agencies reported high rates of nausea in patients using the medication. The method of each agency is described below. Select the agency that could claim that the medication causes nausea based on their method. A : The fourth agency brings volunteers currently using the medication to a facility and randomly gives half of participants the medication and half a placebo. They tell the patients that they are collecting data on all effects of the medication. B : The second agency sends a representative to the homes of existing patients to inquire about their appetite since they started taking the medication. C : The third agency brings volunteers currently using the medication to a clinical facility to observe their eating habits and tells the volunteers they are being observed for nausea.

- A study examined the impact of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, on various physiological and psychological variables. The study recruited a sample of 18 young adults who were habitual marijuana smokers. Participants came to the lab 3 times, each time completing the entire series of tests and questionnaire, but each time smoking a different marijuana cigarette: one with 3.9% THC, one with 1.8% THC, and one with no THC, a placebo. The order of the conditions was randomized and participants were not told how much THC was in the cigarette they smoked until after all the data were collected. This is an example of a completely randomized experiment. O a case-control observational study. an anecdotal evidence. O a matched pairs or repeated measures experiment.

(2000) investigated the effects of procyanidin B-2 tonic on human hair growth after sequential use for 6 months. In one part of the study, the total hair increase (total hairs at month 6 – total hairs at month 0) in the designated scalp area was measured for a sample of 15 men treated with a placebo control and a sample of 25 men treated with a procyanidin B-2 (PB2). The data is contained in the file A2Q3.csv. (This data is simulated based on information in the paper. You must use the data in the file to carry out the analysis). Is there evidence that the total hair increase of the subjects in the procyanidin B-2 group was greater the those in the placebo control group, at the 5% level of significance?
