Quiz 4

5. You want to compare the healthiness and tanginess of limes grown with three amounts of a new fertilizer​ (none, half the recommended​ amount, and the full recommended​ amount). You allocate 21lime trees to receive each amount of​ fertilizer, assigning them at random. What is the factor and its​ levels? How might the response be​ measured?

What is the factor and its​ levels?

1. The factor is the type of fruit being tested. The level is the number of trees that are in the experiment.
2. The factor is the measured healthiness and tanginess of each lime. The level is how each lime rates on healthiness and tanginess
3. The factor is the amount of fertilizer. The levels are the 21 lime trees
4. The factor is the amount of fertilizer used on each tree. The levels are the different amounts of fertilizer​ (none, half the recommended​ amount, and the full recommended​ amount).

How might the response be​ measured?

1. You might measure the healthiness and tanginess of each lime on a scale of 1 to 10.
2. You might measure each lime by length.
3. You might measure each lime by density.
