There is evidence that dosage level affect bioactivity. Anova analysis reveals significant differences with a p-value of 0.0144. Therefore it is appropriate to proceed with the comparison between means to reveal the differences between dosages that are significant. b)

Comparison of means without adjustment

Comparison of means with tukey adjustment

Comparison of means using the tukey method revels that comparison dosages 20 and 40g are significantly different but not the rest of comparisons.

Anova table reveals that firing temperature does not affect the density of the bricks. P-value>0.05 b) Although no significance difference is reveal by the anova table it is worthwhile to proceed with a LSD analysis because means (difference) can be different and not being detected in the anova table.

b) LSD analysis

c)

Residuals are normally distributed as normal qq plot shows. Residuals vs fitter plot shows that residuals have constant variance as well. So assumptions normality and constant variance are met. d)

Yes, it does. The difference between 100 and 125 is out of normal distribution with a mean centered at 21.66

a) ANOVA table reveals that there is significant difference in conductivity due to coating type. b)

Overall mean
c) By hand

= 137.94

e)

Coating 1 produces the highest conductivity.

f) Keep using coating type 4 because it produces the lowest conductivity. (129.25)
