(c) Use the following one-way ANOVA table to test the hypothesis of equal means at the a0.05 level of significance. One-way ANOVA: Sludge Plot, Spring Disk, No Till Source DF 2 MS F 4.22 Factor 58.33 28.17 0.035 Error 15 100.17 6.68 Total 17 156.5 Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Ho; there is V evidence to conclude that the mean numbers of plants for each plot type are not equal. (d) Shown are side-by-side boxplots of each type of plot. Do these boxplots support the results obtained in part (c)? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, because the boxplots show that the means are not significantly different. No TiH B. Yes, because the boxplots show that at least one of the means is significantly different. OC. No, because the boxplots do not show that at least one of the means is significantly different. Spring Disk OD. No, because the boxplots show that all of the means are significantly different. Sludge Plot- 25 30 35 Number of Phants (e) Verify that the residuals are normally distributed. Probability Plot of Residuals The normal probability plot and linear correlation coefficient, r, is shown on the right. How does the normal probability plot of the residuals show that the residuals are normally distributed? O A. The plot is linear enough, because r is less than the critical value. OB. The plot is not linear enough, because r is greater than the critical value. 4.17 OC. The plot is linear enough, because r is greater than the critical value. Residuals OD. The plot is not linear enough, because r is less than the critical value. C0.984 O E. There is at least one outlier.
