Calcium is essential to tree growth because it promotes the formation of wood and maintains cell walls. In 1990, the concentration of calcium in precipitation in a certain area was 0.12 milligrams per liter (mg/L). A random sample of 10
precipitation dates in 2007 results in the following data table. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing by treatment (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate tes at a 5% level of significance. 2. Use the data in Problem 1 and pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n=250.
