SCENARIO 11-11
an Agronomist Wants to Compare the Crop Yield

question 102

Short Answer

SCENARIO 11-11
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants all 3
varieties of the seeds on each of 5 different patches of fields. She then measures the crop yield in
bushels per acre. Treating this as a randomized block design, the results are presented in the table that
follows. $\begin{array}{rrrr}\underline {\text { Fields }} &\underline {\text { Smith}}& \underline{\text {Walsh}}& \underline{\text {Trevor }}\\1&11.1 & 19.0 & 14.6 \\2&13.5 & 18.0 & 15.7 \\3&15.3 & 19.8 & 16.8 \\4&14.6 & 19.6 & 16.7 \\5&9.8 & 16.6 & 15.2\end{array}$
-Referring to Scenario 11-11, using an overall level of significance of 0.01, what is the critical
range for the Tukey multiple comparison procedure?

Definitions:

Pneumoconiosis

A respiratory condition caused by inhalation of dust particles from mining or stonecutting.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

A lung disease marked by the thickening and scarring of lung tissue, leading to decreased oxygen intake and breathing difficulties.

Chronic Pulmonary Histoplasmosis

A long-term lung infection caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, often resulting from inhaling spores from contaminated soil or dust.

Silicosis

A lung disease caused by inhaling tiny bits of silica, predominantly from quartz, leading to inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.
