Assignment 2-Data Analysis and Report Writing

This document contains instructions for two statistical analysis assignments. The first asks students to analyze indexed observation data on rubber consumption, develop regression models to predict variables Y1 and Y2, and write a report on their findings. The second involves analyzing data from a plant hormone experiment with different concentration levels repeated over 10 times, identifying the appropriate experimental design, outlining it, describing the analysis model, and discussing assumptions and tests. Students are to submit their answers to an online link by September 24, 2022.

d. What are the model assumptions and mention appropriate tests to check the validity of
assumptions? (05 mark)
