Suppose that a researcher is considering the effect of three different factors on the growth rates of corn: temperature, humidity, and sunlight. For each factor, the researcher wants to investigate two levels: high and low. How many experiments need to be conducted? What if there were n different factors?
A hospital is going to select three of its 12 physicians to induct into its "Hall of Medical Fame". How many ways can it do this?
Three different factors each at two levels. the total number of experiments will be 2*2*2=8 experiments
This is synonymous to tossing three coins and listing out the outcomes of the experiment Each coins denotes a factor and the outcomes are levels. in total 23 experiments are conducted.
If there are 4 coins there will be 24 outcomes. Similarly for tossing n coins(factors). The total number of experiments would be 2n.
b) 3 persons out of 12 persons can be selected in 12C3 ways =
