Question

Identify the experimental untis (or subjects), the factor(s), the treatment(s) and the response variable.

Answer 1

sorry i cant help with this one.

Answer 2

I think that the input factor is the temperature only

Answer 3

and the response variable, is the strength of each group of bags

Answer 4

namely, we can write:
\(S=f(T)\)
\(S\) is a function of \(T\), where \(S\) is the strngth, and \(T\) is the temperature

Answer 5

strength*

Answer 6

so you tinhk I shoul wrie S=f(T) instead of what each is?

Answer 7

I just am not so sure, becaus eit seems the question wonts the name of each

Answer 8

HI

Answer 9

@xMissAlyCatx

Answer 10

I get what hes suggesting, but I do not get how to write it out for an answer!

Answer 11

I mean the question is just telling you to identify the things as well as the response variable..

Answer 12

yes but you wouldnt write S=FT would you?

Answer 13

Well why do you need a formula for it, though?

Answer 14

I dont think we do is what im saying

Answer 15

yeah I don't think we do either.. I think all you need to do is determine what each of the listed above factors are..

Answer 16

can you help me do that

Answer 17

Yes. :P

Answer 18

Experimental unit is the physical entity which can be assigned, at random, to a treatment. Commonly it is an individual animal. The experimental unit is also the unit of statistical analysis. However, any two experimental units must be capable of receiving different treatments.

In experiments, a treatment is something that researchers administer to experimental units. For example, a corn field is divided into four, each part is 'treated' with a different fertiliser to see which produces the most corn; a teacher practices different teaching methods on different groups in her class to see which yields the best results; a doctor treats a patient with a skin condition with different creams to see which is most effective.

A factor of an experiment is a controlled independent variable; a variable whose levels are set by the experimenter.

Variables of interest in an experiment (those that are measured or observed) are called response or dependent variables.

Answer 19

Does that help a little?

Answer 20

ok so would the experimental units be the conditions?

Answer 21

@xMissAlyCatx

Answer 22

What do you mean by the conditions?

Answer 23

Well i was thinking that the conditions they grow in could be the answer

Answer 24

o.o no clue what you're talking about, lol.

Answer 25

ok well how do you suggest I corectly answer this question

Answer 26

@xMissAlyCatx what do you suggest or tihnk the anser is?

Answer 27

I would "suggest" that a treatment would be plastic bags..

Answer 28

The factor could be perhaps be the temperature...

Answer 29

ok, I see what you mean by factor and treatments now. I would like a second suggeston though so let me answer another person! @mathmale

Answer 30

ok i got trees, sunlight and tree mass
am I correct anyone?

Answer 31

@Michele_Laino
I think i finally figured it out

Answer 32

ok! :)

Answer 33

am i correct you think?
