Use the following to answer the question(s) below.
Preparing wheat for use in bread and pasta products generally involves both milling and bleaching. A company that processes wheat is interested in determining the best combination of milling and bleaching that results in a desirable wheat product without sacrificing fibre content. They vary the milling time (short, medium and long) and bleaching (no bleaching and bleaching) and measure fibre content (gms/100 grams) of the resulting wheat product. The partial ANOVA results apply.
-Which of the following is true about this study?
A) It is an observational study.
B) It is a completely randomized design in one factor.
C) We use the one-way analysis of variance.
D) It is an experimental study.
E) This is a retrospective study.

The study is experimental because the researchers are manipulating the variables (milling time and bleaching) and measuring the outcome (fibre content) to determine cause and effect relationships.
