Question:

Four treatments were compared for their effect on the growth of spinach cells in cell culture flasks. The experimenter randomly allocated two flasks to each treatment. After a certain time on treatment, he randomly drew three aliquots (1 cc each) from each flask and measured the cell density in each aliquot; thus, he had six cell density measurements for each treatment. In calculating the standard error of a treatment mean, the experimenter calculated the standard deviation of the six measurements and divided by √6. On what grounds might an objection be raised to this method of calculating the SE?
