Question

Growth (12,10,8,11,6,7,2,3,3)
Tannin (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

e.g tannin at 0 growth at 12, tannin at 8 growth at 3

It contains two variables tannin and growth. Tannin is an inhibitor of fungi growth. In an experiment a researcher measured the amount of growth of fungi at different concentrations of tannin (between 0 to 9 mmol/l). Growth was measurred as the amount of area occupied from the fungi after 1 day of exposure.

Q. What is an appropriate analysis to study the effect of tannin concentration on fungi growth? and then run the appropriate analysis.

multiple regression

Explanation / Answer

Correct option:

simple linear regression

EXPLANATION:
y = dependent variable = concenrations of tannin (between 0 to 9 mmol/l)

x = independent variable = growth of fingi

The research is to study the effect of tannin concentration on fungi growth.
