3. Focus on the post-hoc tests (multiple comparison) (p.246-247). a. In words, describe what is the goal of these tests. [1 mark] b. How many post-hoc tests are performed? Explain why. [1 mark] c. Explain the problem associated with performing a large number of tests. [1 mark] d. Using the method described in class, how would you correct the significance level? [1 mark] e. Using the same dataset as in Q2f, perform a subset of the post-hoc tests. Focus only on small salmons (FL=55-75 mm), and look at how they are affected differently by predators of varying size. As in the paper, use the transformed values. Describe your tests clearly (i.e. explain what you are comparing), the test statistic, the p-value, and the conclusion.

Two-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc tests were Young of the year (YOY) (n = 520) and one year old used to evaluate the effect that the fork length of both the (OYO) (n = 520) salmon and two (n=6) and three years salmon and the predator fish had on the survival rate of old (n = 11) charr were used in this study.
