This case study investigates the effects of different inoculation methods on the yields of entozoic amoebae. Five methods of inoculation, including a control group and various treatments, were tested. The study analyzed the data using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and performed post-hoc comparisons to examine pairwise differences among the conditions. The study also conducted tests to assess equal variances and normality assumptions.

Description • 5 Methods of Innoculation (Conditions) • None (Control) • Heat at 70C for 10 minutes • Addition of 10% Formalin • Heat followed by Formalin • Formalin, followed after 1 hour by heat • n=10 Replicates per Condition (N=50) • Y=Yield (10-4)
Analysis of Variance and F-test H0: m1 = m2 = m3 = m4 = m5(No differences in condition effects) HA: Not all mi are equal (Differences Among Condition Effects)
Diagnostics - Tests of Equal Variances Levene’s Test
Diagnostics - Normality Assumption Histogram: Approximately bell-shaped Normal Probability Plot: Approximates a straight line
Post-Hoc Comparisons (II) Fisher’s LSD: m1 > m2 , m1 > m3 , m1 > m4 , m1 > m5 Tukey, Bonferroni: m1 > m2 , m1 > m3 , m1 > m5
