In a designed experiment, there is one factor with four levels. How many treatments are there?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Four treatments are there.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

In a designed experiment, there is one factor with four levels. How many treatments are there?

02

Step 2. Explanation.

It is given that In a designed experiment, there is one factor with four levels

There are four levels as well.

As a result, we can say that the designed experiment is clearly a one-factor experiment.

The number of treatments in a one-factor experiment is represented by the levels of a single factor. There are four levels here.

As a result, there are four treatments in the given constructed experiment.

Drug Use. The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration collects and publishes data on nonmedical drug use, by type of drug and age group, in National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The following table provides data for the years 2003 and 2008. The percentages shown are estimates for the entire nation based on information obtained from a sample (NA, not available).

In Exercises 1.92-1.97, we present descriptions of designed experiments. In each case, identify the

(a) experimental units

(b) response variable

(c) factor (s)

(d) levels of each factor:-

(e) treatments.

Increasing Unit Sales. Supermarkets are interested in strategies to increase temporarily the unit sales of a product. In one study, researchers compared the effect of display type and price on unit sales for a particular product. The following display types and pricing schemes were employed.

  • Display types: normal display space interior to an aisle, normal display space at the end of an aisle, and enlarged display space.
  • Pricing schemes: regular price, reduced price, and cost.

In sampling, explain why obtaining a representative sample is important.

The Salk Vaccine. In Exercise 1.17 on page 8, we discussed the Salk vaccine experiment. The experiment utilized a technique called double-blinding because neither the children nor the doctors involved knew which children had been given the vaccine and which had been given placebo. Explain the advantages of using double-blinding in the Salk vaccine experiment.

Plant Density and Tomato Yield. In "Effects of Plant Density on Tomato Yields in Western Nigeria" (Experimental Agriculture,Vol. 12(1), pp. 43-47 ), B. Adelana reported on the effect of tomato variety and planting density on yield. Four tomato varieties (Harvester, Pusa Early Dwarf, Ife No. 1, and Ibadan Local ) were grown at four densities ( 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 40,000 plants/ha). Identify the

a. experimental units. b. response variable.

c. factor (s). d. levels of each factor.

e. treatments.
