Question

A gardener thinks that his plants are being affected by how closely together he places the plants in his garden. Specifically, he thinks that the height that his plants achieve by the end of the growing season differs according to how much space he allocates between each plant. Consequently, he wishes to evaluate whether there is a relationship between plant height and distance between plants. He has a large garden, so has subsequently planted ten (20) rose plants at a variety of distances from one another (anywhere ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches apart).

1. Identify (i.e. name) which of the inference procedures covered in 2244 is most appropriate to analyse this researcher’s data? (1 mark, suggested length is 1 sentence)

b. Each inference procedure has a set of model conditions that must be evaluated prior to using the procedure. For the inference procedure you have identified in part a, list each required condition using the context of the research scenario described above (that is, the variables/language of this specific scenario).

Answer 1
