ANSWER:Solution 13BSC Step 1 The given problem explain about Poplar Tree Weights. We have to check assumptions: 1. The Shapiro-wilk statistic values are First one is .428, second one is .464 , third one is .196 and fourth one is .910. Hence, .428, .464, .196 and .910 for no treatment, fertilizer, irrigation and fertilizer plus irrigation respectively. Then these values are greater than the level of significance 0.05 so the data is found to be normal. Tests of Normality S h a Kolm p ogor i ov-S r mirn o ov a - W i l k Stati d Stati D Sig. Sig. stic f stic f No treatment .246 5 .200 * .903 5 .428 Fertilizer .250 5 .200 * .909 5 .464 Irrigation .247 5 .200 * .851 5 .196 Fertilizer and .201 5 .200 * .976 5 .910 Irrigation 2. Then we know that mean and standard deviations from below table. Descriptive Statistics N Mean Std. Deviation No treatment 5 .7540 .49166 Fertilizer 5 .7760 .24419 Irrigation 5 .5180 .40770 Fertilizer and 1.598 5 .50889 Irrigation 0 From the above table the standard deviations values are different. Here the the standard deviations 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th is 0.49166 , 0.2441 , 0.4077 , 0.5088. 3. The samples are randomly selected it is mentioned in the question. 4. The samples are independent of each other. 5. The samples are categorized according to one factor weight.
