Question: Construct the appropriate ANOVA table

Do lizards play a role in spreading plant seeds? Some research carried out in South Africa would suggest so. Researchers on a study collected 400 seeds of a particular type of fig, Too of which were from each treatment: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrax dung, and uneaten figs. They planted these seeds in balches of 5, and for each group of 5 they recorded how many of the seeds germinated. This resulted in 20 observations for each treatment. The treatment means and standard deviations are given in the accompanying lable. Treatment X S Uneaten fias 20 2.40 0.29 Lizard lag 20 2.40 0.32 Bird dung 20 1.70 0.35 HyTag Club 20 1.50 0.29

(a) Construct the appropriate ANOVA table. (Use technology. Round your answers to three decimal places.) Source of Degrees of Sum of Mean variation freedom squares F Ratio squares F Prob Between Groups within Group Total 79 State the test statistic and value. (Use technology. Round your answers to three decimal places) F= p-value Slate the conclusion in the problem context. W reject 1 The data provide convincing evidence that the mean number of seeds germinating for the four populations is not the same We tall to reject Ho. The data provide convincing evidence that the mean number of seeds germinating for the four populations is not the same. We fail to reject Ho. The data do not provide convincing evidence that the mean number of seeds germinating for the four populations is not the same O We reject H. The data do not provide convincing evidence that the mean number of seeds germinating for the four populations is not the sammu.

(b) Is there evidence that seeds caten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate than those caten and then excreted by birds cave statistical evidence to support your answer the elable. Use Mizaru - bird- Round your answers to three decimal places.) Assume the value of q is 3.7). There ---Select-- evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate than those esten and then excreted by birds. The 95%. T-K confidence interval is which Select contain zero. This cloc- a significant difference between the germination rate between these two populations
