You want to determine the effect of both depth and position in a pool on the concentration of chlorine in parts per million. Concentrations are measured at three depths from the surface of the pool (0 ft, 5 ft, and 10 ft). At each depth measurements are taken at five different lateral positions in the pool.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Look at the scenario that is presented below and select an appropriate experimental design. Use the data to provide a sample ANOVA for your experimental design.

You want to determine the effect of both depth and position in a pool on the concentration of chlorine in parts per million. Concentrations are measured at three depths from the surface of the pool (0 ft, 5 ft, and 10 ft). At each depth measurements are taken at five different lateral positions in the pool.

To test effect of position, calculated F=1.0, P=0.4374 which is > 0.05 level. Effect of position is not significant.

To test effect of depth, calculated F=11.18, P=0.0011which is < 0.05 level. Effect of depth is significant.

To test effect of interaction, calculated F=0.58, P=0.7802 which is > 0.05 level. Effect of interaction is not significant.
