Question
A farmer wishes to test the effectiveness of a new kind of fertilizer. He plants his crops on 24 plots of equal size. Design an experiment he can use to test the new fertilizer. (Be sure to explain how randomness will be used.)
Step 1
This can be done by randomly generating numbers from 1 to 24 and assigning each number to a specific plot. Show more…

A farmer wants to compare the produce yields of three different fertilizers. He plans to conduct an experiment on his orchard. He believes there may be a large difference in the effect of the fertilizers between the fruit trees and the nut trees. Because of these differences, he should use a completely randomized design. a stratified sample. a multistage sample. a randomized block design. a matched pairs design.
A greenhouse owner wants to test the effectiveness of new fertilizer on African violets. She has 60 violet seedlings that were grown for 8 weeks. She wants to test the new fertilizer on 10 of the plants and decides to use simple random sample to select them. Which of the following statements is true? She needs to select the 10 biggest plants to test the new fertilizer. She needs to select the 10 smallest plants to test the new fertilizer. She needs to number each plant 1-60 and randomly select 10 plants. She needs to put the plants in 6 groups of 10 and randomly select 1 of the groups.
How would you amend the design in Exercise 25 if the farmer wants to test the effectiveness of the new fertilizer on each of two different crops?
