Question:

Fertilizers A biology student is studying the effect of 10 different fertilizers on the growth of mung bean sprouts. She sprouts 12 beans in each of 10 different petri dishes, and adds the same amount of fertilizer to each dish. After one week she measures the heights of the 120 sprouts in millimeters. Here are box plots and an ANOVA table of the data:

a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
b) What does the ANOVA table say about the null hypothesis? (Be sure to report this in terms of heights and fertilizers).
c) Her lab partner looks at the same data and says that he did f-tests of every fertilizer against every other fertilizer and finds that several of the fertilizers seem to have significantly higher mean heights. Does this match your finding in part b? Give an explanation for the difference, if any, between the two results.
