Test hives are set up and the number of ounces of honey each hive produces is recorded and given below.
a. Are any a priori comparisons appropriate and if so which ones?
b. Using a = .05 1 tail is there a difference between strain 1 and strain 2 using planned comparisons?
c. Using a = 0.05 and the HSD test, which strains are different in the amount of honey they produce?
