Question

Armed with the results of the seedling study above, which tool would you use to evaluate the claim that the treatment has no effect on the average weight of the resulting plants? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

It may seem that the options have been omitted in this question. However, in order to evaluate the claim that a mean from a particular group is statistically higher or lower to a mean from another group, there would be a need to compare the two means.

Mean comparison or testing for a significant difference between means can be carried out using the Student's t-test or one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

When the means being compared are just for 2 groups as indicated in the illustration, Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA can be used. However, once there are more than 2 group means being compared, one-way ANOVA will only be applicable.
