Dr. Grant is interested in learning more about the effects of different diets on dinosaur weight. So, he conducts a study in which 20 Tyrannosaurus rex specimens of equal initial weight are assigned at random to one of four diets. The Tyrannosaurs are fed their respective diets for 10 months and then weighed. Assume that the data on Tyrannosaur weights are distributed normally.
