Question:

In an experiment on growing sweet peas, a team of students selected 2 factors at 4 levels each and recorded Weight, Stem Length, and Root Length after 6 \ days of growth. They grew plants using various amounts of Water and Quick grow solution, a fertilizer designed to help plants grow faster. Each factor was run at 4 levels: little, some, moderate, and full. They grew 2 plants under each of the 16 conditions.

An interaction plot of Weight in mg (x-axis is Quick growing—levels are water) shows:

Because of this, a two-way ANOVA with interaction model was fit to the data, resulting in the following ANOVA table:

Residuals plots showed no violations of the variance or Normality conditions. A table of effects for Quick grows shows:
