Question

Pine oleoresin is obtained by tapping the trunks of pine trees. Tapping is done by cutting a hole in the bark and collecting the resin that oozes out. This experiment compares four shapes for the holes and the efficacy of acid treating the holes. Twenty-four pine trees are selected at random from a plantation, and the 24 trees are assigned at random to the eight combinations of whole shape (circular, diagonal slash, check, rectangular) and acid treatment (yes or no). The response is total grams of resin collected from the hole (data from Low and Bin Mohd. Ali 1985).Analyze these data to determine how the treatments affect resin yield Data is available in: http://users.stat.umn.edu/~gary/book/fcdae.data/pr8.5

Explanation / Answer

analysis

for shape 1, treatment does not affect yield . it remains low.

for shape 2.on treatmnt 2- yield has increased. its yiels is much higher than that of shape 1.

for shape 3,its yeid is higher than that of shape 1 and 2.on treatment 2, its yield has increased

for shape 4, yield is highest. treatment 2 increased yield.
