An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants all 3 varieties of the seeds on each of 5 different patches of fields. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. She has found out that the different varieties do have an impact on crop yield. Which of the following tests will be the most appropriate to find out which variety will produce the highest yield?
A) one-way ANOVA F test for differences among more than two means
B) randomized block F test for differences among more than two means
C) Tukey multiple comparisons procedure for randomized block designs
D) Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons procedure for one-way ANOVA

The Tukey multiple comparisons procedure for randomized block designs is appropriate here because the agronomist has used a randomized block design by planting all varieties on each patch, and she wants to compare the means of the different varieties.
