    This document summarizes a study that examined the effect of different numbers of nematodes on the height of tomato plants. The study introduced 0, 1000, 5000, or 10000 nematodes into pots with tomato plants. An ANOVA test found no significant difference in plant height between the different nematode introduction levels, indicating that the number of nematodes did not significantly affect tomato plant height. Multiple comparison tests, including Tukey HSD and Duncan, also found no significant differences between the plant height means of the different nematode introduction groups. Therefore, the conclusion is that the number of nematodes introduced did not have a significant effect on the height of the tomato plants.

    NAME NUR NADHIRAH BINTI ZAIDI

    LECTURER’S NAME DR. MOHD SHAMZI BIN MOHAMED
    SUBMISSION DATE 5TH DECEMBER 2019
    ONE-WAY ANOVA TEST OF PLANT HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF NEMATODES

    The descriptive table shows that on average, the tomato plants which were
    introduced with 10000 nematodes were the tallest with mean 4.90 cm whereas the tomato
    plants that is not introduced with any nematodes were the shortest with mean of 3.60 cm.
    The 95% confidence intervals showed that the average height of plants after 1000
    nematodes introduced will be somewhere between 2.2672 cm and 5.9328 cm 95% of the
    time.

    The Levene’s Test is testing whether the variances from the four groups of different
    numbers of nematodes introduced were significantly different. Based on the table of test of
    homogeneity of variances, the variances of the four groups are equal since p > 0.05 (p =
    0.067).

    Based on the ANOVA table, the table is divided into between groups effects which
    represents the effects due to the experiment and within groups effects which is the
    unsystematic variation of the data. The sum of squares for the model (3.448) represents the
    total experimental effect while the mean sum of squares for the model (1.149) represents the
    average experimental effect. The within groups row gives detail of the unsystematic variation
    within the data. The residual sum of squares (9.310) tells us how much unsystematic
    variation exists while the residual mean squares (0.776) is the average amount of
    unsystematic variation.

    The F-ratio (1.481) is the test of whether the group means are the same. The F-ratio
    is a ratio of mean square between groups and mean square within groups. The null
    hypothesis for this research is that the means of plant height for all three numbers of
    nematodes introduced are the same or there is no effect of nematodes on height of plant
    (cm). In this case there is a very huge probability which is more than 0.05 that an F-ratio of
    this size occurred by chance. Since the observed significance value is more than 0.05, we
    can say that the plant height does not varies by much by the numbers of nematodes
    introduced.

    Based on the table Robust Tests of equality of means, the p values for the Welch
    (0.148) & Brown-Forsythe (0.282) tests are more than 0.05, therefore there is no statistically
    significant difference in plant height for different numbers of nematodes introduced into the
    pots.

    The Multiple Comparisons table shows the results of the Tukey HSD Multiple
    Comparisons Test. The test shows that 0 nematodes was first compared with 1000
    nematodes, but the mean difference was not significant (-0.5 cm) since p > 0.05. When
    compared with 5000 and 10000 nematodes, the mean difference was -0.55 cm and -1.30 cm
    respectively. The mean differences were not significant too since p > 0.05. The summary
    that can be made from this table is that 0 nematode were not significantly different to 1000
    nematodes, and so does 1000 nematodes to 5000 nematodes. 5000 nematodes were also
    not significantly different to 10000 nematodes.

    Based on the homogenous subsets table for both Tukey HSD and Duncan test, all
    number of nematodes are placed in one subset. Thus, we can see here that all four groups
    are not significantly different from each other. The mean plot shows that there is trend of
    increasing height as 1000 nematodes were introduced from 0 nematodes. However, the
    trend remains unchanged when 5000 nematodes were introduced, and it rocketed again
    when 10000 nematodes were introduced.

    As a conclusion, there is no significant difference between the height of tomato plants


    based on the numbers of nematodes introduced into the pots. Hence, the number of
    nematodes introduced does not affect the height of tomato plants by much.
