Instruction 11-8
an Agronomist Wants to Compare the Crop Yield

question 29

True/False

Instruction 11-8
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of three varieties of chickpea seeds.She plants all three varieties of the seeds on each of five different patches of fields.She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre.Treating this as a randomised block design,the results are presented in the table that follows.
$$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | } \hline \text { Fields } & \text { Smith } & \text { Walsh } & \text { Trevor } \\\hline 1 & 11.1 & 19.0 & 14.6 \\\hline 2 & 13.5 & 18.0 & 15.7 \\\hline 3 & 15.3 & 19.8 & 16.8 \\\hline 4 & 14.6 & 19.6 & 16.7 \\\hline 5 & 9.8 & 16.6 & 15.2 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Referring to Instruction 11-8,based on the Tukey multiple comparison procedure with an overall level of significance of 0.01,the agronomist would decide that there is a significant difference between the crop yield of Walsh and Trevor seeds.

Definitions:

Cell Division

The process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, critical for growth, reproduction, and repair in organisms.

Parent Cells

Cells that divide to produce daughter cells through the process of mitosis or meiosis, involved in growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms.

Sister Chromatids

Identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere and are formed during the replication phase of the cell cycle, crucial for genetic material distribution during cell division.

Chromosomal DNA

The DNA that is contained within the chromosomes of a cell, carrying genetic information vital for the cell's structure, development, and function.
