8 1 From t-test to one-way anova1.2 PracticalSeven plants of wheat grown in pots and given nofertilizer treatment yield 8.4, 4.5, 7.8, 6.1, 4.7, 11.2 and9.6g dry weight of seed. A further eight plants from thesame source are grown in similar conditions but givena fertilizer treatment. These plants yield 11.6, 7.5, 10.4,8.4, 13.0, 9.6, 13.2 and 9.9g dry weight respectively.The data are held in file Pots.gsh as two columns: thefirst holds the seed weights (variate seed) and thesecond holds factor treat indicating whether or notthere was any fertilizer (control/fertilizer).Read the data into Genstat, then look to see whetherthe fertilizer has an effect on seed production bycarrying out a two-sample t-test using the T-Test menu.Figure 1.61.3 One-way analysis of varianceAnother way of representing thesituation, is that we have a linearmodely ij = ì + a i + åijwhere each observation isrepresented by its mean m i(which we have chosen to writeas ì + a i ) plus a residual åijwhich represents the randomvariation in the situation.For our example, it representsthe data as follows:
