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. Which of the following tests will be the most appropriate to find out if there is
Any difference in crop yield among the 3 varieties?
A) Paired t test
B) One-way ANOVA F test for differences among more than two means.
C) Randomized block F test for differences among more than two means.
D) Two-way ANOVA F test for the variety effect.
