  1. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
  2. What does the data look like?  Please provide appropriate figures and summary statistics (measure of central tendency and variance) to write a sentence or two about the data and discuss the number of levels for each factor.
  3. Are the variances equal?
  4. Two-way ANOVA
    1. What kind of Two-Way ANOVA?  
    2. What was the outcome of the Two-Way ANOVA? Was there an interaction?
    3. Evaluate the model fit
  5. If the Two-Way ANOVA indicates that you may reject the null hypotheses, where do the differences lie?  As a biologist, what can you conclude from this study?
